Police are appealing for witnesses, or anyone with information, to come forward after an attempted kidnapping incident in Eastleigh
It comes after a woman was cycling past Selwyn Gardens at around 4am on Friday 11 February when she spotted a couple arguing in a doorway.
A man then followed the woman on the bicycle for a short distance at around 4.20am, before jumping out of his car and grabbing the lady by the arm, accusing her of stealing his mobile phone.
It is then alleged that he order the woman to get into the car to search her before fleeing the scene down Royston Avenue towards Broadlands Avenue.
The man is described as being white, aged between 50 and 60, approximately 5ft 4ins tall with fair hair and a cut off fringe. He was seen wearing a dark duffle coat and glasses.
