Police are appealing for help to find a wanted man in Southampton in connection with an investigation into an assault which left a victim injured.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary is searching for 36-year-old Michael Cairncross, who is wanted in connection with allegations of criminal damage, harassment and assault in Millbrook.

The incidents are reported to have taken place on Monday 1 June, with the assault victim suffering injuries classified as actual bodily harm (ABH).

Officers have carried out a number of enquiries in an attempt to locate Cairncross but have so far been unable to find him.

Police believe he may still be in the Millbrook area of Southampton and are urging local residents to remain vigilant and report any sightings immediately.

Members of the public are being warned not to approach him if they see him, but instead contact police straight away.

The force is also encouraging people living in and around Millbrook to share the appeal in the hope of gathering information about his whereabouts.

Police have issued a further warning that anyone deliberately helping Cairncross avoid officers could also face arrest.

Anyone who sees Michael Cairncross is urged not to approach him but to call 999 immediately, quoting reference 44260357349.

Information can also be provided through the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary website.

Alternatively, anyone wishing to remain anonymous can contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or through its website at crimestoppers-uk.org.
