Appeal for witnesses following assault in Havant

We are appealing to the public for information following an assault in Havant on Friday 11 February.

 

At approximately 6.15pm a woman in her 40s was walking along the alleyway leading to the woods from Ramsdale Avenue when she was assaulted to the head, causing bruising and swelling.

 

Officers have been conducting numerous lines of enquiry to determine the circumstances of the incident and are now turning to the public for help.

 

We would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen what happened or has information that may assist our enquiries.

 

We’re particularly keen to hear from a woman the victim engaged with shortly before the assault. The woman spoke to the victim about her dog, who had slipped its collar.

• Of average build
• Spoke with an English accent 
• Wearing a waist-length dark puffer coat with lined padding which was done up to the top, covering the bottom of her face. She was also wearing dark trousers and a dark bobble hat with a pom pom.
