00:00 Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:02 Derbyshire Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward

00:06 after a pensioner was attacked in an unprovoked road raid incident.

00:09 The victim, a man in his 70s, was almost hit by a car that was turning out of Liddell in Ripley

00:16 between 12.30 and 1pm on Thursday. As he walked past the car, which had stopped due to traffic,

00:22 he said he shouted at the driver about the near miss. He then told police that the driver got

00:27 out of the car, pushed him over and punched him a number of times in the face. A woman was seen

00:33 to get out of the car and pull the attacker away. The assault took place in Nottingham Road outside

00:38 Taylors Corn Stores and it is believed that a number of people will have witnessed the incident.

00:43 Officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

00:46 Of particular interest is drivers who have dash cam footage that may have captured the incident

00:52 or the moments just before or afterwards. Plans to build a new teaching block at Chesterfield

00:59 College have been approved by the Borough Council. The construction of the two-storey

01:03 Engineering and Life Sciences building on Infirmary Road will be funded by the

01:08 Government and will replace the current North Block 1 which will be demolished.
