Officers investigating an incident where a woman was injured in Poole are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to identify.
Between 10pm and 10.30pm on Saturday 21 September 2024 a woman aged in her 30s was walking along Castle Street, from Poole Quay, and as she approached Orchard Plaza she felt a pain to her stomach.
The woman reported that she had been struck by some kind of projectile, possibly a pellet from an air weapon or BB gun. She sustained bruising to her stomach as a result.
Immediately after the incident, the victim saw a man looking at her and laughing. She went to challenge him and the man was abusive towards her, before making off from the scene.
