Officers investigating a report of sexual assault in Bournemouth are urging witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

It was reported that at around 2pm on Monday 31 May 2021 the victim, a woman aged in her 20s, was sitting in her convertible car with the roof down at the traffic lights on Alma Road, at the junction with Charminster Road. A man reportedly walked across the road, approached the car and kissed the victim on the shoulder before walking off.

The man was reportedly seen pushing another man in a wheelchair in the area before and after the incident.

Following enquiries, a 31-year-old Poole man was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and has been released on police bail as officers continue their investigation.

“I would urge any witnesses or anyone who may have captured anything relevant on dashcam footage to please contact us.”
