A 91-year-old woman was verbally abused and a 69-year-old man pushed to the ground by two cyclists this morning (Wednesday).

Two men were riding their bikes through Plough Lane in Whitstable at around 9.30am when one of their bikes hit a dog.

The dog's owner, a 91-year-old woman, told the cyclists to slow down but the two men became abusive to her and a group of other elderly people.

One of the cyclists then pushed a 69-year-old man in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.

The suspect is described as a white man aged 30 to 35, of heavy build, with short blonde hair.

He was wearing navy, baggy shorts and a blue top.

The other cyclist was older, aged 50 to 55, around 5ft 10in tall, of medium build, with great straight hair and wearing a blue cycle helmet.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kent Police on 101 quoting crime number ZY/18984/17
