CCTV images released as part of Southampton assault investigation

Do you recognise this man?

We would like to speak to him in connection with an assault which took place in Tesco Express, Spring Road, Southampton at 11pm on Friday, 23 December last year.

A man allegedly tried to buy alcohol but was refused because he was in the company of a younger man who did not have ID.

He returned a short while later and assaulted a member of staff – a man in his 30s – by headbutting him and punching him in the face before leaving again.

The victim sustained a cut lip and soreness to his head and chest.

We believe the man in these images can help us with our investigation and would urge him or anyone who knows him to get in touch.

Similarly if you have information about this incident, saw anything suspicious in the area at the time or have CCTV, mobile phone, dash cam or ring doorbell footage which could aid our investigation, contact us.

You can do this by calling 101, reporting on our website or calling Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111 quoting 44220515717.
