Officers investigating an assault in Poole are appealing for anyone with information to come forward – with an image being issued of the suspect.
At around 4.20pm on Wednesday 4 November 2020 the victim – a 15-year-old boy – was walking along Ashley Road with his friends when one of them became involved in a verbal altercation at the junction with Pearson Avenue with two men who were in a Mercedes.
The victim also subsequently got involved in the altercation. It is reported that the men got out of the Mercedes and the driver assaulted the victim, before being challenged by a member of the public.
The men got back in the car and drove off after the incident.
The victim sustained a black eye and cuts to his hands that did not require hospital treatment.
Police Constable Joshua Alner, of Poole police, said: “We have carried out a number of initial enquiries into the incident, but these have so far not proved successful in identifying the men involved.
“As part of my investigation, I have obtained an image of the suspect and would ask anyone who recognises him to please get in touch.”
