The incident occurred during the morning of Saturday 13 August 2022 near the fun fair at Baiter Park.
It is reported that a man grabbed a woman and pulled her with force.

“I am particularly keen to speak to the couple who were walking their dog as they may have important information to assist my enquiries.”
