A restaurant worker in Bournemouth has been hit in the face with a picture frame after telling a customer they were fully booked.

Three men were told there was no room at the Urban Garden restaurant in Exeter Crescent at around 9.10pm on 8 May.

One of them then picked up the picture and hit the waiter, leaving him needing hospital treatment for cuts to his face, ear and head.

Police Constable David Sweeting, of Dorset Police, said: "I have been carrying out a number of enquiries into this assault to try and identify the man responsible.

"I am now in a position to issue a CCTV image of a man I would like to speak to and would urge anyone with information about his identity to please get in touch.”
