North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information about an incident that occurred near to Askham Bryan village, York.

It happened on Askham Bryan Lane between 11.35am and 11.45am on 13 April 2015.

A 30-year-old woman was cycling towards the A1237 from the village when she was passed by what she believed to be a black Peugeot 107 travelling in the opposite direction containing several young males. As the car passed the front passenger threw a stone over the top of the car toward the cyclist, the stone hit her on her leg causing an injury.

Fortunately the cyclist was not injured badly in this incident but this could have easily have resulted in more serious injuries.

We are conducting enquiries and are requesting the public’s assistance to help determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

In particular, we are appealing for information from anyone who may be aware of this incident and has any information regarding it.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact us on 101, select option 2, and ask for York Service Desk.
