A victim has been urged to come forward after a man was seen assaulting her on CCTV.

An operator in Gloucestershire Police's control room spotted a man barging into a woman near Urban Outfitters on Lower High Street in Cheltenham at approximately 08.35 BST.

Officers attended but the victim, who was white and wearing a pale blue hooded top and light grey joggers, had left the scene.

Investigating officers are asking the victim, or anyone who knows her, to come forward so her welfare can be checked and an investigation can progress.
