Detectives investigating an assault outside a Co-op in Dorsten Square, Crawley, have identified a man they wish to speak with who may have information which could assist them with their enquires.
He is described as being in his early 30’s, around 5’10” tall, with ginger hair and had freckles on his face. He was wearing a thick, blue winter coat with a fur hood, blue jeans and blue training shoes.
The assault is reported to have taken place between 7.30-7.45pm on Friday, January 6.
Before the assault the victim, a 27-year-old man, was approached by an unknown man who was antagonising him.
The victim ignored the comments from the suspect and walked into store.
After leaving the store the victim was again approached by the suspect who dragged him around the corner and assaulted him.
As a result of the assault the victim sustained major but non-life threatening or life-changing injuries. Officers would also like to speak with two men who engaged with the suspect following the assault.
As well as those two men they would like to speak with a man who alerted the shop assistant to the assault.
This information can be reported to police online or call 101 quoting serial number 1257 of 06/01.
