Officers investigating an incident where a man and a woman were assaulted in Christchurch are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to identify.
At around 12.30am on Saturday 1 April 2023 a man and a woman aged in their 20s were walking in the High Street when they were approached by a man they had encountered earlier that night in Ye Olde George Inn in Castle Street.
The man punched the male victim to the face and then reportedly attempted to strangle the female victim as she went to intervene.
The male victim was left with swelling to his left eye and the woman had a sore throat but no visible injuries.
