AN ELDERLY man has been attacked a hotel in a North Yorkshire seaside town - and police have launched a CCTV appeal.
The man in his late 70s was assaulted in Scarborough and police believe a CCTV image showing a distinctive coat may provide information that could help the investigation.

North Yorkshire Police officers are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
A force spokesperson said: “We appreciate this CCTV image is low quality but someone may recognise the clothing worn by this young male.
“We need to trace him as part of our investigation.”
