Police in Basingstoke have released an E-fit of a man they wish to trace as part of an investigation into an assault in the town on Friday, October 1.
Sometime between 10.40pm and 10.50pm, a 15-year-old boy was walking through the War Memorial Park when he was approached by a man and punched in the face.
