Image released in Ringwood assault investigation

Do you recognise the man in this picture?

We would like to speak to him following a shoplifting and assault incident in Meeting House Lane, Ringwood.

It took place sometime between 1.35pm and 2pm on Friday 3 May.

A man entered the Sainsbury’s store and left without paying for several bottles of alcohol.

A member of staff approached him and asked him to return. The man then spat at the woman and walked off.

He is described as:

• aged 20 to 26 years old
• around 6ft tall
• of mixed race
• slim build
• short brown hair
• wearing a black tracksuit top with the letters MAX on the back, black tracksuit bottoms and black and white trainers.

We have now released a photograph of a man we would like to speak to in connection with this incident.

Do you know this man? Did you witness what happened?
