Police appeal for help after alleged assault on woman in Weymouth

Police in Weymouth are appealing for help from

1.  

 

the public following an alleged domestic assault in the town – with one

man being arrested.

The incident, in which a man allegedly grabbed

hold of a 48-year-old Weymouth woman, happened along Newstead Road, near

the Asda supermarket, at around 9.55am on Saturday, 14 August 2010.

The woman was uninjured.

Investigations Officer Sue Graham, of Weymouth

police, said: “I understand that a number of people were around at the

time of this incident and it’s possible that they may have seen what

happened.

“In particular, I believe that a woman, possibly

aged in her forties, stopped her car as she was driving out of the

nearby Asda store.

“This woman left her vehicle and talked to the man and woman involved before getting back into her car and driving off.

“It’s also understood that a First Choice bus

stopped at a nearby bus stop. Again, it’s entirely possible that the

passengers and driver may be able to help me to find out exactly what

happened.

“I would urge anyone who witnessed this incident to contact me – in confidence – as soon as possible.”

A 49-year-old Weymouth man was arrested and has been released on bail while enquiries continue.

Witnesses and anyone with information should

call Dorset Police in confidence on 01305 222 222 or the free and
