Appeal launched after serious Gosport assault
HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY have announced they have launched an ‘urgent’ appeal for witnesses and information to help their continuing investigation following a serious incident in Gosport late last month; which saw a forty-one year old man arrested following a report of an assault close to the ‘Household Waste Recycling Centre’ along Grange Road.
Officers attended the scene at approximately 4:30pm on February 26 (Wednesday) to this report from a passer-by who stated that another man was being kicked and stamped multiple times. An area close to the Recycling Centre was also closed whilst enquiries were made and medical treatment was provided to the victim, who decided not to go to hospital.
A man from Gosport was arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and it is unclear on whether charges will be made with this investigation still ongoing. Detectives are hoping to speak with anybody who may have witnessed the incident unfolding as well as those with potential video and Dash-cam footage that would help.
Investigators are urging anybody with potential information to contact the police by calling their non-emergency number 101 and quote the case’s reference number of 44250087636. They can further submit details using the online reporting tool available on the Hampshire Police website, with all official support and further guidance available on the links here.
Alternatively, readers can contact the “independent charity” Crimestoppers 100% anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 for absolutely free; or via their anonymous online forms which can be found through their website: https://orlo.uk/250kR
