ESSEX Police are appealing for information about three separate incidents in Harlow which they are treating as linked.
They were called at around 5.40pm on Monday 22 June after a man reported that he was near to Eddie’s Local in Elm Hatch when he was threatened by a man in black Seat Leon, who was possibly in possession of a firearm.
They understand there was a further disturbance involving both individuals between 5.50pm and 6pm near to the Phoenix Pub in Tillwicks Road and Second Avenue.
They are also investigating reports that a vehicle deliberately drove towards the victim and his child as they walked near to a mini roundabout close to St Marks School on Tripton Road between noon and 2pm on Monday 29 June.
The vehicle, described as a black Audi, then left the scene.
While no one was injured, the victim was left shaken by the ordeal.
They are treating these incidents as targeted and believe the victim is known to the suspect.
A 39-year-old man from Felsted was arrested on Wednesday 1 July on suspicion of making threats to kill has been released without charge.
Anyone with information is asked to call Harlow police station on 101 quoting crime reference 42/95448/20.
