Police are appealing for witnesses who saw a middle-aged woman in a catsuit attack a teenager in a Trowbridge pub.

The victim, an 18-year-old from Southampton, was in the Albany Palace on Market Street on October 19 when she got into an argument with another woman around 11.30pm, who allegedly grabbed her by her hair and assaulted her, causing a cut to her face.

The suspect is described as slim, white, around 5’5 tall and aged in her mid to late forties. She is believed to have been wearing a highly distinctive red and black catsuit, and was in the pub with another blonde woman, who was not involved in the incident.

Anyone who witnessed the assault or recognises the description of the woman is asked to contact PC Jamie Darvill at Trowbridge Police Station on 101. Alternatively they can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously if they wish.
