Hampshire police said a man, aged 25 to 35, entered Morrison’s petrol garage in Portsmouth Road in Cosham, on January 7 after 7pm.

Workers stopped him from leaving the store after he tried to leave without paying for items he had picked up.

He became aggressive, damaging Covid protective screens and threatened a staff member with a bottle, officers said.

Police have now released shop CCTV to identify a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

He has black hair, tanned skin, was 5ft 10ins tall, and was wearing a black jacket and jogging bottoms with a black rucksack.

A police spokesman said the man fled on a red bicycle.

He said: ‘Did you see this man in the local area at the time? Did you see what happened? Or perhaps you have dash cam footage available?’

Call 101, quoting 44210007533, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
