Police Hunt Hero Witness After Henbury ‘Suspicious Man’ Scare
Avon and Somerset Police are urgently hunting a key witness who stepped in during a troubling incident in Henbury last Wednesday, December 13. A young woman, in her late teens, was approached by a suspicious man in the Satchfield Crescent area between 5 and 5:30 pm.
Bold Intervention from Blonde Woman
The man, driving a red hatchback, is described as bald, large-built, around 6 feet tall, and likely in his 50s or 60s. He wore a navy T-shirt, light blue jeans, black and white Nike trainers, and had a distinctive tattoo of several red and green roses on his left forearm. After being confronted, he sped off towards Dragonswell Road.
Police want to speak to the blonde-haired woman who came to the young woman’s rescue. She’s believed to be in her 30s, sports her hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a professional lanyard. Her quick action helped calm the situation and keep the teenager safe.
