Police are investigating an unprovoked attack on a postman as he carried out his deliveries in Dumfries.

The postman was delivering in Syme Road at around 10.30am on Friday when he was assaulted by a man while in a block of flats.

The only description of the man is that he was wearing a light blue coloured hoodie with the hood up.

The man then ran off after the assault.

This appears to be a completely unprovoked attack on a postman going about his deliveries. As a result of this assault the postman received bruising to his face and a black eye. Anyone who was in the Syme Road area around this time is asked to call us at Dumfries on 101 if they can help identify this man.
