Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man who may have information that could assist enquiries following a reported assault at a Walton supermarket on Monday 14 July.
At around 1.50pm a man in his 40s was reportedly shopping at Asda on Breckfield Road South when he left his trolley to select produce in the vegetable aisle.
While doing so a man approached the victim’s trolley and rammed it with his own trolley. A verbal argument ensued and the man then assaulted the victim, breaking his nose. The perpetrator proceeded to punch and kick the victim.
