Appeal for witnesses after woman assaults boy in Gloucester park

Police are appealing for information after a woman assaulted a young boy in a Gloucester park.

The incident took place at Redwall Park on Redwell Road, Matson, at around 2.45pm on Thursday 28 October.

A woman approached a boy in the park where she is believed to have begun shouting at him before assaulting him.

The suspect is being described as white, around 20 years old, and was wearing a grey jacket, grey trousers and white Adidas shoes. She had a pink tongue piercing, ear piercings, jet black hair and long fake pink nails, and was holding a pink iPhone. She also had two children with her at the time.

Officers have completed a number of enquiries to identify witnesses but have been unable to locate anyone, so are now asking for the public for help.
