    Girl is Irish supposedly..
    POLICE have issued CCTV images of a man and a woman they need to trace after a shop worker was slapped across the face with a fish in an Accrington supermarket.

    The incident took place around 3pm on Tuesday 4th February at the Asda store on Hyndburn Road.

    The 52 year old victim was working behind the fish counter when a young woman has approached the stall to ask about different fish.

    Without warning the woman has picked up a large bream from the fish stall and slapped the worker across the face before running out of the store.

    The victim believes the incident was being filmed on a mobile phone by a man stood nearby who also ran from the scene when challenged.

    The woman is described as being Irish and aged between 15 and 18 with blonde, shoulder-length untidy hair. She was wearing dark jeans and a blue coat with white cuffs, white down the front and a red collar with ‘I love PB’ on the left breast pocket.

    The man is described as being around the same age, 5ft 8 tall, wearing a dark coat and dark grey trousers and boots.

    PC Graham Hartley said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and I would appeal to anybody that witnessed this incident or recognises either the man or the woman pictured in the CCTV images to come forward and contact me, PC 1183 Hartley on 101.”

    queue some great fish puns!

    Victim? Lol. Someone set up a support Group, quick. "It happned in a flash, I was standing there, iceing the pollock, when wham! A Bream in the kisser and down I went. My life flashed before my eyes. I'm lucky to be alive - if she'd picked a Cod, I'd be a gonner".

    She hit the wrong person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,360 ✭✭✭Archeron


    The supermarket worker didn't sea it coming. Seriously though, she'll be squids in if she can sue for this, before you know it she'll be basking in the warm rays of the Mediterranean.


    The attacker will roe the day she breamed of this senseless violence. Moray and moray people seem to think its okay to Leave others flounder like this.

    I thought the stunt was brill but the whiting will be on the wall when these two are netted. They might clam up during interrogation but if the cops show a bit of mussel they'll soon change their tuna.

    Police in England are searching for an Irish teenager who is said to have slapped a shop worker across the face with a large fish.

    CCTV images of a teenage boy and girl have been released by Lancashire Constabulary after the worker was slapped across the face with a bream.

    The incident took place on 4 February at a supermarket on Hyndburn Road, Accrington.

    Lancashire Constabulary described the incident as "completely unacceptable".

    In a statement, the police said the 52-year-old victim was working behind the fish counter when a young woman approached to ask about different fish.

    "Without warning, the woman has picked up a large bream from the fish stall and slapped the worker across the face before running out of the store," said the statement from Lancashire Constabulary.

    "The victim believes the incident was being filmed on a mobile phone by a man stood nearby who also ran from the scene when challenged."
