Police have launched a witness appeal after a woman was spotted alone on the hard shoulder of a motorway. 

The 29-year-old was seen walking along the M27 between 11pm and 11.30pm. 

Detective constable Kirsty Burridge said: “Did you see a woman having an altercation with a man? Or did you see a black Alfa Romeo which was being driven in an unusual manner along the M27?”

The incident happened between junction two and three on Saturday, April 18.

A 34-year-old man from Gosport has been arrested in connection with this incident and was released on bail until June 3, pending further enquiries.
