Two men, aged 18 and 20, and a 17-year-old boy, all from Reading, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 38-year-old man from Reading has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Police believe this is linked to an earlier incident in Southcote, on the same day, where an 18-year-old man from Reading has been arrested on suspicion of inflicting GBH with intent.

At around 5.45pm yesterday, police say a teenage girl was assaulted by a male in Coronation Square, Southcote.

Then, at approximately 6.10pm yesterday, a different victim, a man in his teens, was on Pierce’s Hill, Tilehurst, when police say they were hit by a van.

The victim of the assault in Coronation Square suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital, where they remain.

The victim of the van collision in Pierce’s Hill sustained life-changing injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains.

Senior investigating officer detective chief inspector David Turton, based at Reading police station, said: “I am appealing for anyone who witnessed either of these incidents, or who has any information about what happened, to please come forward.

“Particularly those who may have dash-cam footage from the area at the time, or relevant CCTV footage.

“We believe that the people in these incidents are known to each other and there is no wider risk to the public.

“Anyone with information can contact police by making a report online or calling 101, please quote reference 43220347031.

“Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or online.”
