Although the attack is believed to have been isolated and targeted, police patrols have been stepped-up in the neighbourhood to provide reassurance while enquiries are ongoing to investigate the circumstances.

Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward as soon as possible, including any vehicles seen nearby at the time of the incident or possible sighting of the suspect.

He is around 5ft 6in tall, of medium build, and was wearing a black hooded top, grey tracksuit bottoms, a black baseball cap and a blue surgical mask covering his face.

Anyone with information is urged to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room.
