A HUNT has been launched for a knife-wielding man who attacked a woman at a Southampton gaming venue.

Police were called to Cashino Gaming on Above Bar Street following the incident.

It is believed the man unplugged a drinks machine to charge his phone before a female member of staff told him to leave.

She picked up his things and put them outside and the man kicked her and threatened her with a knife.

The incident happened on June 19 at about 6pm but police have only now released details.

The victim suffered bruising and scratches.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokeswoman said: "Officers investigating the assault would like to speak to the man in the CCTV image as they believe he may have information that could help the investigation.

"Do you recognise him?

"Anyone with information is asked to contact us on 101, quoting 44180229448, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
