One of the men became aggressive with a member of staff and he was asked to hand back his paintballing gun.

Police say the man responded by pulling the weapon away from staff and hitting one of them on the head. He then ripped off the victim’s face mask, scratching his face.

Police Constable Geoffrey Avey-Hebditch of Dorset Police, said: “I would urge anyone with information about the man pictured here or his whereabouts to contact Dorset Police.”

This can be done by emailing [email protected] or by calling 101, asking for Dorset Police and quoting incident number 21:246.
