Custom House Square attack leads to PSNI appeal for recorded footage

Detectives investigating an attack on two women in Belfast are appealing for anyone with recorded footage to come forward.

The incident happened in the Custom House Square area around 10pm on Sunday, August 18. The Anne Marie gig would have been ongoing around the time of the incident.

Two women were attacked by a man and woman, who police reported spoke with Eastern European accents.

Sergeant Elliott said: "At around 10:10pm, it was reported two females, one aged in her 40s and one aged in her 30s, were assaulted in the area by an unknown man and woman. The females were treated for their injuries, which are not believed to be serious.

"The male is described as being 6” in height, stocky build and blonde hair. The female is described as being of slim build, dark hair with a long ponytail. It is believed both the male and female spoke in Eastern European accents.

"Enquiries are continuing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have had footage recorded during that time to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 340 21/08/19.

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
