A supermarket worker in Salisbury has been assaulted by a man who left the shop without paying for some items.

Shortly before 3pm on Tuesday 15th December, staff at Tesco Express on Wilton Road noticed the man concealing two cans of drink and two bottles of beer before leaving the store.

He was then followed by one of the workers down Wilton Road, past the law courts, when the suspect then picked up a road sign and threw it at the staff member.

The object hit the worker on the arm.
