Can you help?

We’re releasing an image of a potential witness after two women were touched inappropriately over their clothing in a nightclub in Portsmouth.

The two women, aged 19 and 36, were approached on the dancefloor at Astoria on Guildhall Walk by four men shortly before 1am on Wednesday 14 February and assaulted.

A 29 year-old man has subsequently been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and bailed until Sunday 16 June pending further enquiries.

Following a thorough investigation and review of CCTV in the area, we’re now releasing an image of a potential witness we’d like to speak to as part of our enquiries.
