WILTSHIRE police are appealing for information following an assault on a Police Community Support Officer in Swindon town centre.
The incident took place at around 3.15pm on Friday, December 5 on Havelock Square.
A PCSO was assaulted by a man during the course of her duties. Whilst trying to restrain the man, another Police Constable and Security Officer was also assaulted.
A 45-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and remains in police custody.
The PCSO was taken to hospital but was later released.
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Wiltshire Police via 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can left anonymously.

"Fortunately, she only suffered minor injuries however any attack on a member of police staff is totally unacceptable and the person responsible will be dealt with accordingly."
