Police have released an E-fit image of a man they want to question after a man in his 50s was assaulted at his home in a Suffolk village.

The wanted man, aged around 25 years old, visited the victim’s property in South Street, Risby, offering to repair his roof.

The victim said he was not interested before an altercation took place during which the man in his 50s was struck to the face and knocked to the ground, a Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said.

A van being driven by another man then pulled-up which the offender got into and they drove off towards the village centre.

The victim sustained cuts to his head and a sore jaw.

The offender is described as white, 5ft 10ins tall, with an athletic build and short dark hair. He was wearing jeans and a silver jacket.

The man driving the van, which is described as a white ‘Transit type’, is described as white, also aged around 25 years old, and with dark short spiky hair.

Police are investigating. To help, call 101.
