At around 6.30pm on Friday, August 16 a man was chased into the town’s McDonald’s branch along the High Street.

He was also shouted at.  

Two weeks earlier on Tuesday, July 30, the same victim, who is a man in his 20s, was picked up and thrown to the floor by the same offender.

The victim suffered minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.
