A MAN who is wanted in connection with an attack on an elderly man is being hunted by police.

Police are warning people not to approach Marcus Cameron, aged 25, who is wanted in connection with a burglary in December, 2014, in Kearsley, in which an elderly man was attacked.

He is also wanted in connection with an assault in Tonge Moor on March 11, in which a man smashed the window of a house and seriously assaulted a woman inside.

Police said Cameron, who featured in our most wanted gallery this week, has links to Manchester and Huddersfield.

Det Ch Insp Rick Jackson, head of Bolton CID, said: "These crimes are of a very serious nature and extreme violence was used against the female victims, some of whom are elderly.

"If you see Cameron, do not approach him, but contact police immediately.

"Should anybody be found to be assisting or harbouring this wanted man, they too will face being arrested and a criminal conviction and a possible prison sentence of their own."

If anybody has any information about his whereabouts then please contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
