Man wanted for wiping excrement on women in pub

A pub-goer is wanted by police for wiping faeces on women drinkers. Both of the 'disgusting' attacks took place at The Oakes pub on Bridge Street, Ramsbottom, Lancashire. The man was spotted walking into the men's toilets before reappearing and wiping his own faeces on the women's arms. Police have now released a CCTV image of a man, who is wanted on suspicion of assault.

Pc Rachael Allen, based at Bury police station, said: “This is a disgusting act that has left two women deeply shocked by what has happened. This was a completely unprovoked assault by a man the victims did not know and we believe the same person is responsible for both incidents. The image captured on CCTV is very clear and I believe that someone will recognise the man.



“If you do, I urge you to contact police. Alternatively, if you were at the pub at the time of both incidents and saw something suspicious, please call us.” The first incident happened on October 12 at around 11.30pm. The 46-year-old victim noticed the man wipe something on her arm. It was only after he walked away she realised it was excrement.

The second assault took place less than two weeks later on October 25 at around 9pm. A 52-year-old woman felt her clothing being touched before looking down and discovering human waste on her sleeve. The man was white, aged 45-50, of medium build and around 5ft 8 to 6ft tall. He had short cropped hair that was grey at the side and wore a dark jacket, check shirt with a grey t-shirt underneath.
