Appeal after reports of man following woman in Gloucester
It happened in the Abbeymead area last Monday afternoon
Police are appealing for witnesses after an unknown man reportedly followed a woman in Gloucester before throwing a large branch at her.
Officers were called to a report at around 4.40pm last Monday afternoon (7 September) that a man had followed a lone woman along Cow's Way and Lobleys Drive heading in the direction of Abbeymead.
He reportedly then stopped traffic to cross the road and follow her before asking members of the public to stop the woman for him before throwing a large branch at her.
Police say the victim who is in her 20s was able to seek help from a nearby motorist and reported that she was not injured but shaken by what happened.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his 30s, of a slim build and wearing a grey hoodie.
Officers have conducted house-to-house and CCTV enquiries since the incident and are now appealing for witnesses to come forward including a motorist who stopped their car and spoke to the unknown man.
