Off-duty officer assaulted outside West Street bar as police issue CCTV appeal
CCTV images released after off-duty officer assaulted in Sheffield city centre.
Police have released CCTV images of three men they would like to speak to following an assault outside a bar in Sheffield city centre.
Officers were called to Maida Vale on West Street at around 9pm on Saturday, 4 April, after reports of a disturbance.
During the incident, an off-duty police officer attempted to de-escalate the situation but was assaulted and dragged to the floor.
She suffered minor injuries.
Those involved are believed to have fled the scene in a taxi.
Following initial enquiries, police are now appealing for witnesses and are seeking to identify three men captured in CCTV images who they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.
All three men are described as white, in their late 30s to early 40s, and between 6ft and 6ft 2in tall.
Two of the men are said to be bald with a stocky build.
One is clean shaven, while the other has a short, dark unkempt beard.
The third man is described as having short dark brown hair and facial hair, and a proportionate build.
