Appeal For Irish Girl After Supermarket Worker Is Assaulted
Lancashire Police has issued CCTV images of two people they want to speak to in connection with an assault in an Accrington supermarket.
On Tuesday (4 February), at around 3pm, a shop worker was slapped across the face with a fish at the Asda supermarket on Hyndburn Road.
The victim, a 52-year-old woman, was working behind the fish counter when a young woman approached the stall and asked about different fish. Without warning, the woman picked up a large bream from the stall and slapped the worker across the face before running out of the store.
It is believed the incident was being filmed on a mobile phone as a man who was standing nearby also fled from the scene when challenged.
The woman police want to speak to is described as Irish and aged between 15 and 18 years. She has blond, shoulder-length untidy hair and was wearing dark jeans and a blue coat. The coat had white cuffs, white down the front and a red collar with 'I love PB' on the left breast pocket.
The man is thought to be around the same age, is 5ft 8in tall and was wearing a dark coat and grey trousers and boots.
Commenting on the incident, PC Graham Hartley said: "This behaviour is completely unacceptable and I would appeal to anybody that witnessed this incident or recognises either the man or the woman pictured in the CCTV images to come forward."
They are asked to contact PC Hartley on 101.
