Avon & Somerset Police have released an image of a man they would like to speak to after an off-duty emergency worker was assaulted.
The unprovoked assault happened in Crewkerne on Sunday 13th March at around 14:40 hours at the exit of a Lidl car park.
As the victim – a man in his 40s – was leaving the car park, he sounded his horn to alert a pedestrian standing in the road with his dog.
The pedestrian then kicked the victim’s car as he drove past.
The victim stopped, and the pedestrian proceeded to pull him out of his vehicle before punching him repeatedly in the head and face.
He suffered cuts and bruising but did not require hospital treatment.
The man in the picture released by Avon & Somerset Police is described as white, in his 30s or 40s, wearing a denim baseball cap and has a sizeable white-haired dog with him.

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
