Witness appeal after man assaulted two teenagers in Gloucester

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man assaulted two teenagers in Gloucester.

It was reported that a man, who was known to the victims, had approached and assaulted them while on Painswick Road at around 2.50pm on Monday 21 October.

The pair sustained minor injuries which did not require medical treatment.

Officers conducted enquiries and a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of common assault. He has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Despite the arrest, investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened or has dashcam/mobile phone footage.

A woman, who was the passenger in a car which had been driving past at the time, intervened and officers are particularly interested in hearing from her.
