An image has been released in a renewed appeal by Avon and Somerset Police after a child was assaulted by an unknown man in Yate last month. The nine-year-old fell to the ground after the incident outside a convenience store in Abbotswood on Friday, November 4.
The boy, who was riding his mountain bike at the time, is said to have been assaulted by the man. Fortunately, despite falling to the ground, he was unharmed.
"We're grateful to the witnesses who came forward following our earlier appeal and have been carrying out further enquiries", said police.
