The incident occurred between 11.30am and 11.40am on Saturday 19 th June at Tesco in the town centre. The victim – a woman aged in her 30s – was at a checkout paying for some items when a man used offensive language towards her.

The incident occurred at around 4pm on Friday 25th June in Gordon Road, on the opposite side of the road to the bus station entrance.

The victim – aged in her 40s – was sitting on a wall when an unknown man approached and punched her in the side of the face. He then jogged off towards Clapham Road South.

This resulted in the victim sustaining bruising to the side of their mouth, a small cut above the lip and a tooth cap to fall out.
