PEOPLE are being warned not to approach a man who is wanted for failing to attend court in Taunton.

Robin Leaver, 32, was due to attend Taunton Crown Court on July 18 for sentencing following an unprovoked assault on a woman in Taunton in August last year, which left her with life changing injuries and a broken jaw.

Leaver is a black man, about 5ft 4ins tall of muscular build with black hair and brown eyes.

Until recently Leaver was living in the Taunton area but police say he has close links with Bristol, especially the St Werburghs and St Pauls areas of the city.

Anyone spotting him is advised not to approach him but call 999 quoting reference 5219165276
