THAMES Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after an assault took place in Spencers Wood.

At around 2.20pm on Friday, July 12, a man in his thirties accidentally blocked in a white Ford Transit van while parking outside the pharmacy on Basingstoke Road.

The driver of the can came into the pharmacy and asked the victim to move his car, but became aggressive despite the victim’s willingness to move his vehicle.

The offender tried to stop the victim from getting into his car and began shouting.

The offender then bit the back of the victim’s head, leading members of the public to intervene.

While the victim did not require hospital treatment, they sustained scratch and bite wounds to their head.
