Officers investigating an assault are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
At around 12pm on Wednesday 12 June 2024 a woman was walking along the Rodwell Trail and had just passed under Buxton Road when she saw four people who are known to her.
It is reported that the woman – aged in her 20s from Portland – was assaulted by the group. She attended hospital for treatment to injuries that are not believed to be serious.
Police Constable Richard Symonds, of Weymouth police, said: “This incident occurred in the middle of the day when there may have been a number of people in the area.
“I would ask anyone who saw what happened and has not already spoken to police to please come forward.
“In particular, I understand an elderly woman came to the aid of the victim during the incident. I am appealing to her to please come forward so we can take her account of what she witnessed.”
