Thames Valley Police have released additional CCTV footage of an individual they believe may possess crucial information related to a severe assault in Abingdon earlier this month.
The incident occurred at approximately 17.15 BST on Monday, October 2, on the Vineyard in Abingdon. The victim, a man in his seventies, was in stationary traffic in his blue Chevrolet Aveo when an unidentified man ran down the centre of the road. The offender stopped at the Chevrolet, opened the car door, and violently assaulted the elderly driver.
The victim sustained serious injuries, including a fractured nose and multiple brain bleeds, necessitating hospital treatment where he remains in care.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Chris Burr of the Abingdon CID said, “We are releasing another CCTV image of who we believe to be the same individual and who may have vital information about the incident.”
Police are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the individual captured in the CCTV footage.
“We would like to appeal to anyone who recognises the individual in this image to please contact the force,” Burr said.
Those with information are urged to make a report online or call the Thames Valley Police on 101, quoting reference number 43230442803. For those wishing to remain anonymous, they can also reach out to the independent charity Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
