A TEENAGER was assaulted as he made his way home from a night out in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses to the robbery, which took place in the Crockhamwell Road shopping parade in Woodley.
The incident took place between 3am and 4am on Saturday, August 13. The 18-year-old got out of a taxi next to The Chequers pub, close to the pagoda.
He then walked through the precinct, and was near the alleyway next to Iceland on Crockhamwell Road when he was attacked from behind by three people.
The gang punched their victim to the ground and then kicked him.
He was then dragged into the alleyway and the offenders continued to assault him before taking his phone, wallet and some clothing.
The victim received some bruising and a minor head injury. He attended hospital to be checked over but has since been discharged.
