POLICE are asking members of the public to call 999 if they see wanted man Joseph Walker.

Walker, 37, is wanted in connection with failing to appear in court.

Police say they also wish to talk to him in connection with an assault investigation.

He is described as white, 5ft 9ins, of medium build and has short brown hair and brown eyes.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "Anyone who sees him is asked not to approach him and instead call 999 immediately and give reference number 5219236655. Alternatively, if you know of his potential whereabouts, call 101."
