Appeal for witnesses following assault – Oxford

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following an assault in Oxford.

The incident occurred at around 4.50pm on Tuesday 12 November in Lime Walk, Headington.

The victim, a man in his forties, approached a stationary white Audi A6 which was in the middle of the road and knocked on the window.

The driver of the Audi then got out of the car and assaulted the victim repeatedly.

The victim suffered injuries to their collar bone and elbow but did not require hospital treatment.

The offender is described as a white man, at around 6ft tall, and of large build. He had a dark beard and a moustache.

Investigating officer, Police Staff Investigator Lorna Starr said: “I am appealing for any witnesses to this assault incident to please come forward.

“We understand that a small crowd gathered during the offence and we believe members of public may have filmed the assault.

“The victim was assisted by multiple members of the public when the offender got back into their car and drove away, and we would ask these people to please get in touch with the force.

“Anyone with information or footage relating to the incident should call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference number 43240548107.
