Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward as they investigate an assault in Weymouth.

It was reported that at around 10.10am on Friday 8 December 2023 a woman aged in her 20s was walking on The Esplanade, near to the Bluebird Coaches booking office, with a young child, when they were approached by a man who was known to her.

She was reportedly assaulted and threatened by the man, but did not sustain serious injuries.

Police Constable Mark Eastgate, of Dorset Police, said: “We are investigating this matter and I am keen to speak to any witnesses to the incident.

“I am particularly keen to hear from a woman who was believed to be aged in her 50s who intervened during the assault.

“Finally, I would urge any motorists who were driving in the area around the relevant time to please check any dashcam footage to see if they have captured anything of relevance.”
