POLICE are appealing for two specific witnesses to come forward in connection with an investigation into an attempted murder.
At around 10.30am on Friday, December 17, a woman in her thirties was assaulted by two men in a property in Foxhays Road, Whitley.
The victim was stabbed in her face and neck and an unknown substance was thrown over her.
She was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.
So far, a 33-year-old man from High Wycombe has been arrested in connection with this incident and released on police bail.
Officers believe that a couple who were walking through Foxhays Road onto Wentworth Avenue around the time of the incident may have information that could help the investigation.
Detective Constable Emily Pallett, based at Reading police station, said that officers are carrying out a thorough investigation into what happened.
“We believe that a couple who were walking through Foxhays Road may have witnessed what happened or have information that could help our investigation,” she explained.
“We are appealing for them to please get in touch with us by calling 101, quoting reference 43210568398.”
DC Pallett also appealed to any drivers who were in the area and had dash-cams running. She urged them to review any footage in case it captured something that could also assist the investigation.
“You can report that to us by calling 101 or by making a report online quoting the same reference as above,” she said.
Anonymous reports can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
