POLICE are investigating after a postman was apparently shot at with an air rifle in Sutton-in-Craven.
The incident happened at 10.30am on Friday close to Sutton House on Ellers Road.
Police say a rifle pellet whizzed past the postman and lodged in a tree, leaving him shocked.
PC James Dykes, in charge of the investigation, said he was keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time.
He said: "It's possible that it was a stray shot from someone dealing with vermin or the like, but if the postman was being deliberately shot at it's very serious."
