AN elderly woman was knocked over during a fracas at a bank in Clacton.

Police are appealing for information about the incident, which happened after a female customer became involved in an altercation with a member of staff at the Abbey Bank in Station Road.

In the course of the dispute, a leaflet stand fell, damaging a plastic privacy screen.

As a result of this, two people tumbled over, one an elderly woman.

PC Kathryn Parker said: “I would urge these people to contact me or one of my colleagues as soon as possible.”
