TWO people were attacked outside a KFC and a McDonald’s. 

The victim was treated by the ambulance service but did not sustain serious injuries in the attack in Sea Road, Boscombe. 

Following the initial incident, the offender – a man – later attacked a second person near to McDonald’s in Christchurch Road. 

Officers are trying to identify the victim of the second attack. He is described as white, bald with a white goatee beard and was wearing a black jacket with a hood over a grey or blue shirt, black trousers, black shoes and was walking using a stick. 

The attacks happened after 6am on Thursday, August 1. 

Edwin Deverill, of Bournemouth police, said: “We are investigating these two assaults and would like the public’s help to identify the second victim so we can take his account of what happened and provide support. 

“I am appealing to anyone who recognises him from the description given to please get in touch. If you are the man involved – please come forward as we want to make sure you are OK. 

“We understand this was a traumatic incident for the victim we have already spoken to and it has had a significant impact on their wellbeing. 

“I would also appeal for anyone with information about the two incidents to please come forward.”
