THAMES Valley Police is appealing for contact from the victim following an assault and kidnap.

It is also appealing for witnesses to the incident.

The incident occurred around 11.40pm on Friday, November 25, in Mayfair, Reading.

Two men assaulted the victim and a third man dragged him into a Black Vauxhall Astra and drove off with him inside.

Investigating officer PC Nathan Tingley, based at Reading police station, said: “Since this incident we have been unable to make contact with the victim, therefore we are appealing for him to get in touch so we can ensure his safety and speak to him about what happened.

“We are also appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who was in the area at the time and may have dash-cam footage that might help us to please come forward.
