Teenager assaulted outside college in apparently unprovoked attack
29/01/2022
18-year-old was approached by two males on Wednesday lunchtime
An 18-year-old boy has been assaulted by two males outside Banbury & Bicester College in what appears to be a random and unprovoked attack. The assault, on Broughton Road in Banbury, took place just after 1.15pm on Wednesday lunchtime (January 26).
Nothing was stolen during the incident. The victim did not require hospital treatment but suffered a cut lip.
The males approached the boy, then assaulted him. They were both wearing black ski masks, were just under 6ft tall and wearing dark clothing. No further description is available.
After the attack, the offenders were seen to run down Bath Road and may have entered a white people carrier vehicle with a middle-aged white female driver.
Investigating officer PC Benjamin Tims, based at Banbury police station, said: “This assault happened in the early afternoon and I am confident that other people will have witnessed what happened.
“This appears to have been a random and unprovoked assault, and I am appealing to anybody who saw this to get in touch with police.
“I would be particularly keen to hear from anybody who was driving in the area and may have dash-cam footage, or witnessed the offenders getting into the white people carrier, to contact us.
“You can do so by calling 101, quoting reference number 43220037760, or by making a report online.
“You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
