Police in Yeovil are appealing for the victim of an assault captured on CCTV to get in touch. The footage was discovered during an investigation into a separate incident involving criminal damage.
On Sunday, March 15, around 12:40 a.m., officers responded to reports of a man damaging a car windscreen on Stars Lane by jumping on the vehicle. An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in connection with this.
While reviewing CCTV from that area, investigators observed the same suspect seemingly punching a man in the stomach. This assault had not been previously reported to the police.
