They say that the woman headed to Alfonso’s Shop in Cheapside (pictured) after fleeing from at an address in Kensington Place after an alleged incident at around 20:30 on Sunday.
When the shopkeeper refused to sell her alcohol, she asked a man in the area to buy it on her behalf. He eventually did so by 21:00.
Police are hoping to get in touch with the man to help with their ongoing investigations, as well as a taxi driver who drove her last Wednesday from near the hospital to Grenville Street while she was “in a distressed state.”
“The woman had been subjected to a domestic assault and had sustained some injuries as a result,” a Police statement read.
Police are now asking those members of the public, as well as anyone with any information on the alleged incidents, to contact them on 612612.
