Woman assaulted in middle of Christchurch road
Police are investigating, after a passing car was also damaged
A woman's been assaulted in the middle of a road in Christchurch, with police investigating that and a related criminal damage incident.
The victim in her 20s, was attacked by a man in Fountain Way, near the roundabout, just before 8.30pm on Tuesday last week (4th June).
The man's also alleged to have damaged the wing mirror of a passing car.
A 27-year-old man from New Milton in Hampshire has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and assault by beating.
He's been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
Detective Sergeant Evie Ahmadi, of Bournemouth police, said:
“We know that several motorists would have been affected by this incident as it occurred in the middle of a busy road.
“We are directly appealing to the owners of a blue Ford Focus and a white converted van who may be key witnesses to this incident.
“We are also appealing to the owner of the black Vauxhall Corsa which reportedly incurred damage to the wing mirror to come forward, as well as any other motorists whose vehicles may have sustained damage.
“Lastly, we would ask any residents or motorists in the area to review their doorbell cameras and dashcams to see if they have captured anything of relevance which may aid our investigation.”
