Witnesses sought following assault on three teenage girls

Police investigating an assault in Dover are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

At 4.40pm on Sunday 14 September 2014 three teenage girls were sitting on a wall in Coombe Valley Road in Dover when two men walked towards them.

The girls got up and moved to sit on another wall across the road and towards the hospital, but the men approached and started to push the girls against their chests.

The three girls left and stopped outside a shop and as the offenders tried to approach again, a member of the public intervened, causing the men to leave.

But the two men returned and tried to grab the arm of one of the girls. All three girls went into the shop to call the police.

Investigating officer, PC Daniel Boswell said: "This was an unprovoked and frightening incident in which teenage girls were approached repeatedly and assaulted by two older men.

"We want to thank the member of the public who intervened and ask that any witnesses to this incident get in touch."

The first suspect was described as white, between 40 and 50 years old, fat, with short dark brown hair, clean-shaven, and wore a black jacket and blue top.

The second suspect was white, aged 35 to 40 years old, of medium build with short dark brown hair, clean shaven and wore a scruffy dark grey jumper and black bottoms.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact PC Boswell on 01843 222289 quoting ZY/030794/14.
