Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was seriously injured in an altercation in Newbury.

The incident took place on the bridge on Wharf Road at around 6.15pm on Sunday, September 13.

The victim, a man in his forties, was walking over the bridge when he was spoken to by a man on a bicycle.

There was an altercation between the two men and the victim was punched in the head, causing him to fall into the railings and on to the floor.

He has since been discharged from hospital.

Thames Valley Police investigating officer, detective constable Tara Hamilton, said: “I am appealing for any witnesses to this incident to please come forward.
