Police are appealing for witnesses after a child was knocked to the floor by a man in Lincoln city centre.

It happened last Wednesday afternoon in an alleyway between Iceland and Uniform Direct near the High Street.

A man reportedly pushed past a family and knocked the four-year-old to the floor before racially abusing the child's mum.

The man is described as in his late 30's, wearing a black leather jacket, jeans and a checked shirt.

He is reported to have run across Tentercroft Street car park, in the direction of Sincil Bank.
