Officers investigating an incident in which a man was seen to carry a knife into a Bournemouth fast food restaurant are issuing a CCTV appeal.
At around 9.55pm on Friday 13 September 2019 a man walked into McDonalds in Christchurch Road, Boscombe, with a kitchen-style knife handle sticking out of his trouser pocket and sat on a bar stool.

The man was seen to walk off along Palmerston Road in the direction of St Clement’s Road. A search of the area was carried out but no one was located.
