Officers are investigating an assault in Upton near Poole and are asking for anyone with information to come forward – with a CCTV image of a man they would like to identify being released.
The incident happened just after 3pm on Friday 9 September 2022 at the Co-op store in Poole Road.
A man entered the shop and selected various items before putting the shopping basket down and leaving, saying he did not have his wallet.
However, when the shop assistant went to look out of the store, the man returned and after a brief verbal exchange punched the store worker to the side of his head. It was reported that he also re-entered the shop, grabbed the basket and ran away.
Police Community Support Investigator Adam Cleaver, of Dorset Police, said: “As part of my investigation, I am now in a position to release a CCTV image of a man I would like to identify.
“I would urge anyone who recognises him to please contact us.”
