It happened on Corporation Road at about 19:15 on 21 January.

The victim was with his partner when they were approached by a man who asked for a cigarette.

The victim refused and was assaulted by the man who ran off in the direction of Alexandra Road.

The suspect is described as white, stocky, 5ft 7in, wearing a black top, grey jogging bottoms and a black woollen hat.

Work starts today on the next phase of roadworks in.

The junction of Springfield Avenue and Hilderthorpe Road will be closed between now and early April while new drains are put in.

There's been criticism about the disruption caused, but the council insists the work will help reduce the risk of flooding.

A service has been held to mark the 50th anniversary of one of the worst disasters in Hull's fishing history.

Nearly 60 fishermen who died at sea 50 years ago in what's known as the triple trawler tragedy have been remembered at a ceremony in Hull.

Three fishing trawlers sank in January and February 1968, with the loss of 58 men who were based in Hull.

The St Romanus sank in the North Sea on 11 January, with the Kingston Peridot lost just over a fortnight later off the coast of Iceland. The 20-strong crew aboard both ships all died.

The Ross Cleveland was the third vessel to sink, with just one survivor.

An anchor in the grounds of Valiant Drive in Hull - where the blocks of flats are named after the three trawlers - has been dedicated to those who died.

Speaking at the dedication ceremony, councillor John Black said the tragedy had a traumatic impact on the local community.
