"This incident happened opposite the Castlepoint Shopping Centre and a busy main road - so it likely there would have been members of public in the area during the time of the incident."

The offender is described as white, of slim build and around five foot nine inches tall with curly hair.

She was wearing a brown scarf around her neck and a black leather jacket.

Police are also looking for a man who was seen talking on a mobile phone and hanging around the bus stop outside the bookmakers before the incident.

He followed the offender after the incident.

He is described as a black man, in his 30s, and was wearing a fluorescent sleeveless top and beige hat.

Witnesses or anyone with information should contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 23:368.
