Appeal for witnesses after man assaulted three people in Gloucester last week

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man assaulted three people in Gloucester last week.

It was reported that a man had pushed over and attempted to punch a woman he knew before kicking and punching two unknown members of the public.

This took place outside of Paddy Power on Southgate Street between 5.40pm and 5.55pm on Thursday (12 March) and the victims sustained minor injuries which did not require medical treatment.

Officers attended the scene and a 39-year-old man from Gloucester was arrested on suspicion of three counts of assault. He has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Investigating officers are now keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened or who was in the area and has CCTV or mobile phone footage.

A number of people were in the area at the time and it is believed that they will be able to help officers with their investigation.
