The man is described as white/black, of large build, between 5ft 9ins and 5ft 11ins tall, wearing a blue hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.
If you were in the area and saw the incident, or have any dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage along Ashleigh Crescent or Mendip Road, please contact us.

missing-pet-posts-on-social-mediaCall for Witnesses to Car Hit & Run
A Congresbury resident has asked if any one was witness to an accident on Sunday 3rd March at approximately 18.45 to come forward. Her grandson who is a Student Paramedic had his car written off on the A370, Bristol Road, Congresbury, at the Crossroads. The offending car was heading towards Yatton. The person driving was going fast, ran a red light, hit her grandson, driver side on and DIDN’T STOP. The driver was going so fast her grandson didn’t get his number plate, though he has a witness.
The driver was in a very distinctive blue Honda S 2000 and now has considerable damage to the bonnet of his car. This has to go somewhere to be repaired.
The police has been informed but it can take up to 12 weeks to try and find the driver, if at all. If you witnessed the accident can you please let us know on editor@confresbury.net and we will pass on the information.
