It was reported that two pedal cyclists had been approached by two men on a motorbike.7
The suspects on the motorbike then assaulted the cyclists in an attempt to steal one of the pedal cycles.
However, a member of the public intervened and the suspects fled the scene empty-handed.
Officers are now appealing for any witnesses to get in touch.
Detective Constable Sarah Sayer said: "This incident occurred at a busy time of day so we are urging anyone who was travelling in the area around the time of the incident to check their dashcams for any relevant footage.
"The same goes for anyone who witnessed what happened and has not already spoken to police.
"If anyone has any further information which could help us to trace the suspects, please contact us.
