Witnesses sought after man causes woman alarm in Telford

The incident happened around 6.30pm on Monday 23 April at the bus stop on Brunel Road in Malinslee.

It may be nothing untoward was intended but his actions did cause concern to the woman involved which is why it is important we establish the circumstances around what happened."
