Police hunt thug who spat in a nurse's face

Police are looking for the man who spat in a nurse's face after the pair alighted a city centre bus.

CCTV footage showing the young man spitting at the NHS worker has been released by police in a bid to track down the thug.

The incident happened in Bristol city centre at around 8.15am on January 18.

Police say that the Bristol Dental Hospital nurse was spat at behind Debenhams in the Broadmead area.

A spokesperson for the Avon and Somerset police said: "Police investigating an incident in which a woman was spat at would like to trace the young man in this CCTV image.

"He got off a bus at the same stop as the woman shortly before the incident.

"A man spat in the face of a woman as he passed her on an electric scooter.

"The young man in the CCTV image is described as black, about 6ft tall and in his late teens."

Police have asked that the man on the scooter call police on 101, quoting reference 5221011855.

They're also looking for witnesses of the incident to come forward, or for anyone who knows the young man, to help the investigation.

If you have any information about what happened, you can also call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
