Bracknell

Bracknell Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was assaulted in Birch Hill, Bracknell, on Saturday night (5/1).

At approximately 11pm the woman, who is in her thirties, was walking home alone from the Silver Birch pub. As she walked along Ringmead, near the junctions with Juniper and Kimberley, she was approached by a youth.

She was asked for a cigarette and when she refused, she was subjected to an unprovoked assault, during which she was pulled to the ground. The boy was joined by two other youths, before all three ran off towards South Hill Park, Bracknell.

The woman sustained only minor injuries, but she was left very shaken by the experience.

All three youths are white boys aged 15 to 16. The main offender is about 5ft 7ins with a slight build, short dark hair, a round face, very dark brown eyes and thick eyebrows.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who has any information that could assist police in their investigations, is asked to contact Det Con Donna Pearce of Bracknell CID on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
