He left the scene shortly after, and has evaded police attention ever since.

In the photograph he can be seen wearing a white jumper with shorts and sandals on, as well as a cap. He has facial hair around his neck area.

If you recognise him or have information that can help with investigations, contact police by calling 101 and quoting crime reference number 16/75608/21.
