Detective Sergeant Thomas Hamm from Bedfordshire Police’s Criminal Investigation Department said: “This happened in a very busy area, and I would be interested to see if anyone has any dashcam footage which could help us with our investigation.

“The victim is understandably shaken up by this horrible attack and we want to pursue those responsible and get them off our streets.”
