Police are asking the public to help identify a man after a pensioner returning home from hacving chemotherapy treatment was allegedly assualted on a Tanton bus.
Officers have released a CCTV image of a man we want to speak to about the assault.
A police spokesman said: "A 76-year-old man was pushed while on the number 99 Stagecoach at about 4.30pm on Tuesday 21 July, following a dispute over a seat.
"The bus had departed South Road in Taunton.
"The victim, who was returning from having chemotherapy treatment, suffered minor cuts to his arm after being pushed."
"The man we’re trying to trace is described as white and he was wearing a black t-shirt, black baseball cap and he had headphones on.
UPDATE: Police have now interviewed a man on a voluntary basis about the allegation.
If anyone recognises the man in the image, or were a passenger on the bus at the time and haven’t yet spoken to police, contact the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 101 and quote log number 79710/15.
