Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following an incident where a man has been threatened by another man with a pointed object, possibly a screwdriver.
At just before 1.10pm on Tuesday (28/1), the victim, a man aged in his fifties, was walking his dog in Prospect Park, near to Mansion House, and another man approached him.
The offender threatened the victim with a pointed object before leaving the scene.
The victim was not injured, and nothing was stolen.
The offender is described as a white man, around 6ft 1in tall with a grey goatee-style beard.
He was wearing a three-quarter length black Timberland jacket with Timberland written on the back, and a hood up.

Investigating officer PC Oliver Hawkins, based at Reading police station, said: “I’m appealing to anybody who witnessed this incident to please get in touch with Thames Valley Police.
