Attacked after words with cyclist
A 79-year-old suffered facial injuries when he was subjected to a "despicable" attack.

A short time after speaking to the woman, the victim was approached in Humberstone Gate by a man who had been walking alongside the cyclist.
The man confronted the victim and assaulted him.
