Police are appealing for witnesses following an altercation in Oswestry last month.

The incident happened outside the 'Boozed Up' off-licence on Salop Road in Oswestry at around 10.30pm on Friday, September 14.

A man was approached by another man outside the shop who was verbally abusive and aggressive towards him.

A 31-year-old man was arrested in connection with this incident and recalled to prison because of a breach of bail conditions.

Enquiries have been carried out and it is believed that a 25 to 30-year-old man came to help the victim outside the off-licence having seen the altercation.

A spokesperson from West Mercia Police said: "We are keen to speak to him as he could be a key witness to our enquiries and have important information that could assist us.

"The man we would like to speak to is described as white, approximately 5'11" tall, of muscular build, with fair hair, and is believed to have been wearing light coloured clothing."

Detective Constable Helen Bailey from West Mercia Police said: "We believe the man we are looking for may have witnessed the altercation between the two men and have important information that could assist us with our investigation.

"We are therefore keen to speak to him and would urge him to get in contact."
