Police in Stroud are appealing for witnesses after an assault on two officers yesterday afternoon (Monday, December 3).

The officers were attending a 'concern for welfare incident' near Travis Perkins in Wallbridge at about 3.30pm when they were assaulted by a female.

It's believed that during the assault a female officer was punched in the head and had her hair pulled and a male officer was bitten and spat at.

There were a number of people nearby at the time and anyone who hasn't spoken to police yet is urged to come forward on 101 and quote incident 257 of 3 December.

A 17-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer in connection with this incident and remains in police custody at this time.
