Police searching for 'dangerous man' convicted of vicious Bournemouth assault

Police in Dorset are searching for a 'dangerous man' who has gone missing after being convicted of a vicious assault outside a Bournemouth restaurant.

Mohamed Tahar Tabte was found guilty of grievous bodily harm after a 30-year-old man was left with severe head injuries following the attack outside Peppino’s Restaurant along Charminster Road in the early hours of January 22.

Mohamed Tabte was due to be sentenced in June 2012, but he failed to attend and police have not been able to locate him.

Detective Constable Tristan Downie, of Bournemouth CID, said: “This was an extremely nasty and unprovoked attack in which the victim suffered numerous skull and jaw fractures, resulting in a bleed on the brain and permanent damage.
