Police are trying to trace a man wanted in connection with an assault on a man in his own car in Gloucester and are appealing for information.

The police need to speak to Samson Williams, 24, and of Evenlode Road, Tuffley, after a man was attacked in a silver Vauxhall Corsa in Tuffley Lane at around 5.15pm on Sunday, March 3.

The offenders are believed to have driven off in a brown or bronze coloured Mitsubishi 4x4 SUV.

Williams also has links to Birmingham.

The man is not considered a threat to the general public but officers are advising people not to approach him but to call 999 if seen, quoting incident 332 of 18 March.

Two men, one from Gloucester and one from Tewkesbury, have been arrested in connection with the incident.

They have been bailed to return to the police station on 8 and 9 April. A third man from Gloucester was also arrested and released under investigation.

Anyone who has any information can provide it anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
