Detective Sergeant Tim Wilkinson, of Lincoln CID, is leading the investigation and he said: “The true awful reality of this attack can be seen in the CCTV footage, the offender attacks the victim once and then goes back a second time.
“I realise the footage and stills do not show the offenders face and are not of the best quality but I know that someone will recognise who this person is.
“This is a truly shocking attack on one of our elderly members of the community.
“I know residents in the area will be as shocked as I am to see this happen in broad daylight and appeal for anyone who has any information to call in.”
