Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the man in this CCTV image to get in touch.

It's in connection with a vulnerable woman being intimidated into withdrawing money.

It happened at around 3:45pm on Sunday 28 February at the cashpoint outside Tesco Express in Wells Road.

The victim, who's in her 20s, but looks younger and has learning difficulties, says she was approached and hassled by a man while walking close to the Green Cafe.

It's not believed that he threatened her, but she did hand over £20.

In connection with our enquiries, we wish to speak with an Asian man, in his late 20s, around 5ft 6ins tall and of slim build. He had short light brown hair and was wearing a purple or grey top and grey trousers.

When he left the scene of the incident he walked away towards Totterdown.
