Wiltshire Police are investigating an incident of racially aggravated public order and assault in Salisbury.

At approximately 10.30 pm on December 3rd, a disorder took place at Frost Bar in Market Square.

During the incident, a member of security was verbally abused and assaulted.

PC Jack Bailey said: “This is a busy local venue, and members of the public would have been in the bar and the local area at the time - it is likely that somebody may have seen something and may have information which could assist our investigation.”

A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of common assault, two counts of common assault on an emergency worker, and racially aggravated harassment.
