Police are searching for a man who struck a woman in the face last week in Center City.
The assault occurred on the afternoon of Nov. 3 on the 1000 block of Race Street, when an unidentified man riding a bicycle extended his arm and struck the 60-year-old woman in the face as she was walking, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
The impact caused the woman to fall backward onto the sidewalk. She was transported to Temple Hospital for facial pain and swelling.
Surveillance video obtained by police shows the suspect picking up a food delivery order at that location shortly before the assault. He was riding a blue and silver bicycle.
Police said they also obtained video of the assault showing the man leaving the area southbound on 10th Street. Authorities have not released that video but have shared other surveillance footage showing the suspect.
The suspect was wearing a pink knit hat and red Nike sneakers and was carrying an orange Grubhub bag.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to submit a tip by calling 215-686-TIPS (8477) or anonymously online.
Police urge anyone who sees the suspect to call 911 immediately and not approach him.
