POLICE have released an e-fit image of a man they want to quiz after a teen was assaulted in a Southampton park.

A 17-year-old was walking through Mansell Park in Wimpson Lane when he noticed a man and was concerned about his welfare.

But on approaching the man he was assaulted by him. The victim then ran away from the offender.

DC Alison Humby from Western CID said: “This was a totally unprovoked attack on a young man who was worried about the offender and went over to check that he was ok.

“I would like to hear from anyone who recognises the man from the efit image. He was described as having a small scar on his left check.”

The incident occurred at around 10pm on Saturday, February 7.

Anyone with information should contact DC Humby at Southampton Central Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
