Police appeal after woman had doner kebab smeared in her face

Police in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, are appealing for information after a 26-year-old woman had a doner kebab smeared in her face at a takeaway restaurant just after 3am on Saturday.



The male suspect left the Express Pizza takeaway following the incident and got into a taxi to an unknown location. He is described as white, aged around 30, with short brown hair. He was with another man aged between 25 and 30 with short brown hair.

Special Constable Liam Cromack, of the Scarborough Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "This apparently unprovoked attack left the woman extremely upset and distressed. We are doing everything we can to identify the man involved in the alleged assault.



"From enquiries it is known that the takeaway was very busy at the time of the incident, with a number of potential witnesses yet to come forward. I also need to track down the taxi driver who picked up the suspect. If you know anything about this incident and can help, I urge you to get in touch as soon as possible."
