Police are appealing for help from the public to find a woman who assaulted an elderly couple at Scone.
Around 10 o'clock on Sunday night the man and woman aged 84 and 86 were putting rubbish in the bin outside their home on Guernsey Street when an unknown woman started verbally abusing them from across the road.
Police say the woman then crossed the road and assaulted the pair, with the man punched and kicked to the ground and the woman pushed to the ground before the attacker ran off.
The couple were taken to Maitland Hospital and treated for cuts and bruising.
Muswellbrook Police particularly want to hear from anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident.
