Or, at least, they've released an image of a man they'd like to speak to in relation to an incident

Officers investigating an assault in Christchurch are issuing an image of a man they would like to identify.

It was reported that at around 1.55am on Saturday 15 November 2025 a man aged in his 20s got into a taxi at a taxi rank in the area of Old Christchurch Road in Bournemouth.

They travelled to Marlow Drive in Christchurch, where the vehicle stopped and a verbal dispute took place between the passenger and the taxi driver. It was reported that the taxi driver pulled the victim from the vehicle and assaulted him, causing facial injuries, before driving off.

Police Constable Susie Justice, of Dorset Police, said: “We have been conducting enquiries into this assault, including speaking with local taxi companies, and are now in a position to share an image of a man we would like to identify as part of our investigation.

“I appreciate it is not the best quality image, but I would urge anyone with information relating to this man’s identity to please make contact with us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55250168665. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.

Interesting how this has been framed by headlines in several outlets. And, as is usually the case, no mention of the t-word at all in the police's own headline above


This in the Daily Echo - presumably they've never heard of the contempt of court rules etc, while you'd think that if anyone would know those rules it would be the likes of the Daily Echo
