POLICE are thanking the public after identifying the men they wish to speak to in connection with a Taunton assault on an elderly woman.
A woman in her 70s was assaulted between 1-2pm on Monday, February 3, when travelling down East Street, in Taunton, by two men.
The two unknown men, one of which was in a wheelchair, shouted at her and pushed her and her mobility scooter over, leading to her glasses breaking and her sustaining fractured ribs and bruising on the arms.
The Avon and Somerset Police issued an appeal this week and said they would like to thank everyone who contacted them with information following this.
