Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was assaulted by another female in Cheltenham earlier this month.

The incident happened in Swindon Road between 1.30pm and 1.45pm on Thursday, October 6.

The victim was approached by an unknown woman who requested money from her. When she refused, the woman punched her to the head, causing her to fall to the floor, and told her that she had a knife. She was then kicked in the head.

A number of enquiries have already taken place, including examining CCTV, and investigating officers would now like to speak to anybody who they haven't already heard from.

The offender was described as being a white woman who was aged about 30, 5ft 2ins in height and had blonde hair that was tied back.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary through the website, quoting incident 21 of October 6.
