“The investigation is ongoing, including CCTV enquiries.”

It comes at the end of the first day when the lockdown restrictions were partially lifted, allowing pubs and restaurants to serve customers in outdoor spaces.

The incident came near the end of a successful reopening of York, with shoppers and diners making the most of the spring sunshine in the city centre.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, and has not already spoken to police, is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 12210096720.
