The man involved in the argument is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall with a medium build and shaved or bald head. He was wearing a dark suit and was driving a silver or grey Range Rover Evoque.

“In addition, anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed this incident take place, or who has any other information that can assist with this investigation should also contact police immediately.”
