Monday, 20 March 2023 11:02

Police are appealing for help to identify a man who got a knife out to construction workers when they asked him to leave a St Helier building site.

The workers had been challenging the man after he walked onto a building site at the junction with New Street and Vauxhall Street at around 3.30 pm on Saturday (18 March).

He then pulled out a 'small knife' and made threats before running off in the direction of Devonshire Place.

The man is described as white, wearing a black jacket and black trousers and a baseball cap . He was carrying a rucksack.

No one was injured.

Anyone who saw this or has any information should contact Jersey Police on 612612 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
