PC Steve Brown said: “These two alleged assaults appear to be connected to the same group of men.

“I would like to speak with anyone who witnessed either of these incidents, or has any information about those involved.

“We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of a silver-coloured car, who was forced to stop at the scene to avoid a man who was walking in the road."

Two boys aged 17, of no fixed abode, and a 19-year-old man from Weymouth, have been arrested and released on police bail while enquiries continue.

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 17:344.
