Man 'punches' woman and 'throws eggs at her' in Bristol

Police have linked two incidents in Bristol after two people were assaulted and cars were damaged. Police are appealing for witnesses, as well as CCTV and doorbell footage after a woman was punched in the face and her car pelted with eggs, according to Avon and Somerset Police.

A man threw an egg at a vehicle outside The Bear and Rugged Staff Pub, on Southmead Road, Southmead at around 11pm on Friday, August 12. He then proceeded to follow her home where he threw two more eggs and punched her in the face.

Separately, two cars in North Bristol were scratched and had eggs thrown at them. The force is treating these incidents as linked.

Officers are encouraging witnesses who may have seen these incidents take place, or have doorbell or CCTV footage, to come forward. If you have any information, please contact the police.
