A man has been arrested for punching a woman in the head repeatedly while she was with child in a pushchair. 

Police are now appealing for any potential witnesses of the assault which took place in Nythe last month.

The woman was at the bus stop with her child on Tyneham Road between 2.45pm and 3.15pm on Tuesday, December 21.

She was then approached by a man, who was known to her, on a bike who punched her in the head twice before riding off. 

Police have confirmed a 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of common assault and he has since been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.

Anyone who witnessed this assault or may have dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident, or has any information that could assist officers with their enquiries is asked to call us on 101.
