Avon and Somerset Police in Bath have issued an image and CCTV still pictures of a man they want to talk to about an assault on a woman in Catherine Place early on Sunday 9th December.
He is described as southern European with light tanned skin, and spoke with a European accent. He is in his 40s, clean shaven, 5ft 8-9ins tall and of medium build.
He has short cropped straight dark hair going grey on the sides, balding on the crown, with the front and side of his hair pushed back as if he is hiding a bald patch. He was wearing a round neck jumper which was mottled dark grey with white flecks, of thick material, white underneath giving the appearance of a white t-shirt without a collar, casual slightly baggy grey/blue trousers and dark coloured daps with white trim around the soles.
The man ran off when a member of the public stopped to come to the woman’s aid. He ran towards Gay Street and then down George Street.
Police want anyone who can recognise the man, or saw someone matching his description and appearance at around 3.30am on Sunday, to contact Bath CID on 101.
The woman was not seriously injured in the assault but was left shocked.
