A Flintshire woman was left unconscious after being punched to the face in a 'violent, unprovoked' attack in Chester city centre.
The 59-year-old woman was sat on her own on the steps leading to Eastgate Row North - between a bank and an Italian restaurant - when she was attacked by a man at 11.54pm on Wednesday, November 13.
The man punched her to the face leaving her unconscious at the bottom of the steps. The man then left the scene and went up Eastgate Street towards The Cross.
She was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital with injuries to her eye.
The man is believed to be aged between 25 and 35. He is described as white, tall, with a round clean shaven face, short blonde hair and a muscular build. He was wearing dark coloured clothing.
PC Courtney Day, of Chester Local Policing Unit, said: “This man has committed a violent, unprovoked attack on a woman who was alone sitting on the steps.
"As part of the investigation I am appealing to those who were around this area shortly before midnight, who may have seen the assault take place or have information, to get in touch.
"Perhaps you saw a man acting suspiciously shortly before the attack or saw him running away afterwards. Any information you have could help find the person responsible.”
