21. Sheffield bus
Sheffield police have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak in connection with an assault on a bus.
It is reported that at 12.30pm on 26 December 2023, a man was punched in the back of the head while he was boarding a bus near Cooplands in Arundel Gate in Sheffield city centre.
The victim sustained a small cut to his nose after the force of the punch caused him to hit his head on the Perspex glass on the bus driver's cab.
Enquiries are ongoing, with CCTV trawls of the local area carried out, and officers are now keen to identify the man in the CCTV image as they feel he may be able to assist with their investigation.
Officers say they appreciate the CCTV image may not be very clear, but hope the photograph, description and circumstances will jog the memories of people who may have been in the area at the time.
He is described as a black man, of an average to medium build, who is believed to be in his late 50s or early 60s. It is thought he is around 5ft 8ins tall and the image shows him wearing glasses and headphones which sit over his head.
He was wearing a dark coloured flat cap, light brown cargo trousers, white trainers and a khaki green body warmer with a grey, long-sleeved jacket underneath. He was also carrying a black and green bag for life.

Police have released CCTV images of two men officers would like to speak to in connection with a stabbing in Sheffield.
On 24 December 2023, around 11pm, it is reported that two men approach a 17-year-old man on Devonshire Street.
The victim fled and ran inside a shop, in an attempt to evade the men. The suspects are then alleged to have forced their way inside and dragged the man outside, where it is believed they caused stab wounds to his back, neck and arm.
The victim was taken to hospital and has since been uncooperative with officers and their enquiries.
As officers’ investigation into the stabbing progresses, they are hoping the two men photographed will hold vital information that can ensure dangerous people are taken off our streets.
One suspect is described as Asian, aged between 20 and 30, of medium build and around 5ft 6ins tall, with a short beard.
The second suspect is described as Black, aged between 20 and 30, of medium build and around 5ft 6ins tall, with black short hair.
