Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to trace after a woman was assaulted and had a bike thrown at her in Wells.

The attack happened on South Street at about 10.20am on Friday, 20 June. A witness said a man was seen grabbing the woman's clothes aggressively before hurling a bike towards her. The woman was then spotted running down Guardhouse Lane, with the man following moments later.
