A staff member at a takeaway pizza shop was pushed and kneed in the head in a reported assault.

Police said two men entered Domino's at Ivy Cross, Shaftesbury, and following a verbal exchange one of them - who was wearing a beige t-shirt - reportedly walked behind the counter and assaulted the member of staff.

The victim, a man aged in his 20s, was pushed into shelving and onto the floor before being kneed in the head and chest area. He suffered pain and swelling as a result.

The second man, who was wearing a flat cap and dark shirt, then came round the back of the counter and held the suspect back before escorting him out of the premises.

The incident occurred at around 7.45pm on Saturday, October 13.

Officers investigating the assault have now released CCTV images of two people they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Police Constable Sam Burge, of North Dorset police, said: “We have been carrying out a number of enquiries to identify those involved in this incident and I am now releasing these CCTV images in the hope that someone will recognise these men.

“I would urge anyone with information regarding their identities to contact police.”
