Police in the UK are on the hunt for an Irish teenage girl after a shop worker was slapped in the face with a large fish at the beginning of the month. No, we promise we’re not coddin’ you.
CCTV stills of a male and female have been released after a 52-year-old fishmonger was hit across the face with “a large bream” at an Accrington supermarket on February 4th.
In a statement, Lancashire police said: “The victim was working behind the fish counter when a young woman has approached the stall to ask about different fish.
“Without warning the woman has picked up a large bream from the fish stall and slapped the worker across the face before running out of the store.
“The victim believes the incident was being filmed on a mobile phone by a man stood nearby who also ran from the scene when challenged.”
The statement described the girl as Irish, between the age of 15 – 18 with shoulder-length blonde hair.
“She was wearing dark jeans and a blue coat with white cuffs, white down the front and a red collar with ‘I love PB’ on the left breast pocket.”
The male accomplice, who is accused of filming the entire incident, is described as being same age, 5ft8 in height, wearing a dark coat and dark grey trousers and boots.
