Police are appealing for a specific witness after a woman was robbed and knocked unconscious in Reading.

The incident happened between 15:00 and 16:00 BST on Friday, 8 May, outside the Tesco store on Napier Road.

Officers said the victim, a woman in her 30s, was attacked by an unknown man, causing her to fall and lose consciousness. When she came round, her personal belongings had been stolen.

She sustained minor injuries in the incident.

A Deliveroo driver is understood to have assisted the victim at the scene, and police are now urging that person – or anyone else who witnessed what happened – to come forward.

Thames Valley Police said they are particularly keen to speak to the delivery rider who helped after the attack.
