POLICE have launched an urgent appeal after a male driver grabbed a woman's arm in Cam earlier this week.
The man had been driving a red car along Dursley Road, near the junction with Springfields, when he pulled the vehicle over and asked the woman for the time.
He then mounted the pavement in front of her to block her path, left the car and approached the woman, who is aged 22.
The man, who was described as being white, middle aged with greying hair and spoke with a local accent, grabbed her by the arm.
She hit him in the face and left the area.
The incident took place at around 4.15pm on Tuesday, October 31.
Gloucestershire Police have now released an e-fit image of a man they would like to identify.
According to police, it is not known what direction the man left in but it is understood that he did not follow her,
A police spokesperson said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who recognises the man from the e-fit image or who lives in the surrounding area and may have information which could help.
“In particular, officers are asking people to review their dashcam and home footage between the times of 4pm and 4.40pm on Tuesday, in case it has captured anything which could assist.”
