Members of the public were forced to intervene after a man "repeatedly assaulted" a woman whilst walking through town on Friday evening.

Police have issued an appeal for information regarding the alleged incident, which took place between approximately 20:55 and 21:10 on Friday 20 September.

According to the police appeal, a man and woman in their 30s walked through town arguing.

It is alleged that the man "repeatedly assaulted" the woman during their journey.

Police said that the pair walked from the area near Chambers in Mulcaster Street to Beresford Street via Hill Street, Halkett Place, Queen Street and Halkett Street – where members of the public intervened.

The man was wearing a grey t-shirt and dark workman’s trousers.

The woman was in a black top and trousers.
