A man has received hospital treatment after an incident of grievous bodily harm in Wendover, Buckinghamshire.
The man, aged in his fifties, was stood by the side of a HGV in Jones Barn Farm Hill, at a HS2 construction site in Wendover, at 2.15pm on Wednesday (5 May) when it is believed a green laser was shone towards him.
