Cheshire Police Constable Emma Pitt said: "This is a shocking, unprovoked attack which happened in quite a busy place so there may be a number of witnesses who have not yet spoken to police. The victim was left shaken up by the incident and we are doing all we can to find the person responsible.
"We do have a number of enquiries underway and as part of those I am keen to speak to anyone who was in the car park around the time of the incident who may have witnessed something. The same goes to anyone who may have captured dashcam footage or may know who is responsible."
