The incident happened on Keighley Road, Halifax, between 2pm and 2.17pm on Saturday when a delivery driver returned to his Citroen Dispatch van after having delivered a parcel.

As the driver was sitting in the van organising more deliveries a man went up to the driver’s door, grabbing the driver and pulling him out of the vehicle.
