A man was verbally abusive towards a woman at a petrol station in Potters Bar.

The incident occurred in the BP Connect Station in the High Street on Monday, September 27, between 5.45pm and 6pm.

It was alleged that the man swore at her and was behaving in a threatening manner.

A member of staff then intervened, and the offender left the scene in a silver Mercedes.

Hertfordshire Constabulary is appealing for information and witnesses.

PC Joe Geeson, who is investigating, said: “The petrol station was very busy at the time this incident occurred, and we believe that several people may have witnessed this altercation taking place. If you did, and have not yet spoken to police, please get in touch with me.

“Any information, even something that may seem relatively minor or insignificant, could be key to progressing our investigation.”
