Witness appeal following public order incident in Portsmouth


Officers investigating an incident in Portsmouth yesterday morning (Saturday 20 April) are appealing for witnesses and information.

 

At approximately 11.30am two vehicles were almost involved in a collision on Burrfields Road, from the direction of Eastern Road.

 

As both cars approached the entrance to Burrfields Retail Park, a man got out of one of them holding a knife and making threatening comments towards the occupant of the second car.

 

The man with the knife then got back into his car and entered the car park of the retail park, stopping in front of Costa Coffee before leaving the area.

 

Nobody was injured during the incident.
