A woman's been assaulted by two men near an underpass in Poole in broad daylight.

The incident happened close to the Adastral Road roundabout between 8.00am and 10.00am on Friday 21st April, but it's only just been reported to police.

A local woman in her 40s was approached by two men, who shouted at her, before one of them hit her in the face a few times.

She suffered a split lip and bruising to her face, running to the local Co-Op store after the attack.

PC Kristian Budden, of Dorset Police, said:

“Unfortunately, the only description we have of the two men is that one of them was holding a bottle of cider and the other one had a yellow bike with him.

“The area would have been busy at that time of day and I am hoping that somebody may have witnessed what happened and can help with our enquiries.

“Also, I would ask any motorists who were in the area during the relevant time period and have dashcam fitted to their vehicle to please check their footage as you might have captured something that could assist us.”

If you can help with any details, you're asked to contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting reference number 55230064820.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
