A MAN has been the victim of an assault on the University of Reading campus. It is being treated as GBH by police.

The incident happened in the Student Union between 11pm and midnight on Wednesday, December 2.

A man in his 20s was approached by another man who wanted to know more about his jewellery and mobile phone.

He was then punched in the face several times and fell to the floor. The attacker then stamped on his head and face, leaving him with a broken jaw, fractured cheekbones, a black eye and swelling to his face that required hospital treatment.

He has since been discharged.

The offender is described as a black man, aged around 19 to 20, around 6ft tall, skinny, clean shaven and with collar length dreadlocks.
