CCTV appeal following reports a man threatened another man with a baton in Gloucester

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with an incident in Gloucester where a man is reported to have threatened another man with a baton.

The victim, a man aged in his 70s, reported that he was in his car and was pulling out from a parking spot on Linden Road, when the road became blocked by a white Vauxhall panel van in front of him.

The driver of the van had driven the wrong way down the one-way road.

After blaring his horn at the victim, the driver of the van left his vehicle and approached the victim's car whilst was shouting and swearing. He was carrying a baton in his hand which he extended and used to repeatedly bang on the car door.

He then tried to prise open the car door with his other hand. The victim then opened the car door in an attempt to push the man away.

The man continued to shout and swear at the victim but then walked away and got back in his van.

A number of enquiries have taken place since the incident, which took place just before 6.40pm on Tuesday 4 August, including a review of CCTV footage and house to house enquiries.

Officers are now appealing for the public’s help to identify the man pictured as they would like to speak to him in connection with the incident.

They appreciate that the image isn't the clearest however it is hoped that someone may know who the man is.
