Cops hunt thugs as pensioner left 'shaken' after assault in Dundee Post Office

A 70-year-old man has been left “shaken” following a terrifying assault in a Dundee Post Office.

The victim was attacked at around 12pm yesterday, January 26, at the branch on Albert Street.

Officers from Police Scotland are now hunting two suspects in connection with the offence, which did not result in any serious injuries.

The first suspect is described as a Burberry-clad white man between 30 and 40-years-old and around 6ft tall.

At the time of the incident he was wearing a dark coloured jacket, black bottoms, white trainers, a Burberry facemask and Burberry baseball cap.

The second suspect is described as a white woman, 30 to 40-years-old.

She is around 5ft 5in tall with a pale complexion and was wearing a red scarf or jumper.

Inspector Gordon Fotheringham, of Tayside Police Division, said: "Thankfully nobody has been seriously injured as a result of this incident, but the man has been left evidently shaken.

"I would ask if you noticed anyone matching this description that you get in contact with officers.

"I would also appeal to those who may have noticed anyone acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the incident.

"Police can be contacted by calling 101 and quoting incident number 1079 of Tuesday, 26 January, 2021."
