Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to an assault on a teenager in Thatcham on Wednesday (27/4) which left him with fractures to his cheek and eye socket.
At around 4pm the 17-year-old was walking along an alleyway from his friend’s house in Goldsmith Close towards a shop in Sagecroft Road when he was attacked from behind.
He felt a punch to the back of the head, but he does not recall anything more about the incident.
It is believed that he made his own way back to the house in Goldsmith Close.
The victim went to the Great Western Hospital, Swindon where he was given treatment for his injuries which included fractures to his cheek and left eye socket and a swelling on the back of his head.
Det Con Krista Thompson of Newbury CID said: “This seems to be a motiveless attack. We do not have a description of the offender yet. However the victim is white and was wearing a blue and grey striped hooded top and grey trousers at the time of the assault.”
Anyone who witnessed this incident or has any information is asked to contact Det Con Krista Thompson at Newbury Police station via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or leave your name, call the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
