AN 18-year-old woman was left injured after being assaulted outside Waitrose.
The woman was left with an injury to her ear after the assault on Thursday (December 15), which took place between 5 and 6pm on the path from Waitrose car park towards Ashley Road.
The victim and suspect are known to each other, and a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and subsequently released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Police say the woman was crying and several members of the public stopped to ask if she was okay. She approached one man and asked to use his mobile phone and another man in a dark coloured vehicle pulled in from Ashley Road and also approached her to check on her.
Officers would like to speak to the members of public who stopped to help and anyone else who saw the incident.
