Police Appeal After Blind Lady is Assaulted in Bristol

Police are appealing for witnesses after a blind woman was assaulted in the Staple Hill area of Bristol.

The unprovoked incident occurred at around 7.55am on Tuesday 13 March 2018 after the 41 year old lady disembarked a bus at the end of Soundwell Road, near Page Road car park.

An unknown person punched her several times in the torso before laughing and running off.

Officers from Avon and Somerset want to hear from anyone who was travelling along Soundwell Road at 8am Tuesday morning, as well as passengers who were on the same bus.

PC 4870 Dan Whalley said: “The person responsible for this unacceptable assault would have been aware of this lady’s visual impairment. She was left with bruising after the attack and has understandably been left shaken and distressed by the incident. I’d ask anyone who can help our investigation to get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to get in touch online, or by calling 101, quoting reference 5218054539.

Alternatively ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name or trace your call. You could even qualify for a reward and still remain anonymous.
