Police in Cumbria are appealing for information after a man became abusive outside a McDonald's restaurant.

Officers were called to the restaurant in Ullswater Road in Penrith at 1.30am yesterday (May 19).

A statement for Cumbria Police said: "A young male has approached motorists asking for food from the drive-through. When they refused he became abusive and threatened to assault a 27-year-old motorist, causing him to fear he would be seriously assaulted."

The suspect - say police - was riding around the area on a black mountain bike.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC 1728 Hamlin on 101.
