During the incident, which occurred on Saturday February 1 between 2.09am and 2.10am, the victim, a teenage boy, was punched in the head, spat at in the face and told to hand over his motorbike keys.
An unknown woman intervened and the man left the scene in a taxi.
No items were stolen during the incident and the victim thankfully suffered no lasting injuries.
The man is described as: white; aged in his 40s; approximately 6ft 3ins tall; athletic build; with black, cropped hair and a black beard.
