Enquiries are ongoing with officers checking CCTV footage for any additional information and carrying out door-to-door enquiries.

Detective Constable Sarah Steven said: “The motive for this crime is not known, however, we believe that the attack was targeted.

"I am appealing to the local community in trying to identify the suspect. I’m sure there is information out there which would assist our investigation and I would urge people to pass it on.

"I would also ask motorists with dash cams to check their footage, it’s possible they have images which could assist enquires.”
