A police spokesperson said: “At least one man, described as short and thin by witnesses, is believed to have recorded the incident from start to finish. We would encourage this person to come forward or if anybody knows who this person is to make contact with the investigation team.”

Anybody with footage, images or information that could help with the investigation should contact police online or via 101, quoting Operation Molton.
