Police are appealing for information following an incident where a woman was bitten by a man following an altercation in King Street, Norwich.

The incident happened between 10.20am and 12.25pm on Wednesday, October 25, on King Street near to Carrow House.

The victim, who is a girl in her late teens, began arguing with a man, who was known to her, near to Portway Place off Dereham Road.

Then, after the couple had made their way to King Street, the offender physically picked her up and when the victim tried to free herself the offender bit her on the thumb and then pushed her to the ground.

After this the victim and offender began to walk towards Carrow House and the argument continued and the offender continued to push the victim.

The victim suffered bite marks to her right thumb and bruising to her left arm.
