Officers investigating an assault in Poole are issuing an image of a man they would like to speak to.
At around 9.30am on Saturday 1 February 2020 a woman was walking through Poole Park near to the mini golf course. A man who was walking in the opposite direction crossed the road, approached the woman and accused her of following him. He then placed his hand on her arm, preventing her from moving forward.
The victim – a woman in her early 20s – attempted to walk past him but the man moved to block her each time.
A member of the public who witnessed the incident came to the victim’s aid and walked with her into town.
Police Constable Stephanie Lowther, of Poole police, said: “We are continuing to make enquiries into this incident and I am now in a position to issue an image of a man I would like to speak to.
“I am also appealing to anyone who may have witnessed what happened or who has any information about who is responsible to please contact us.”
