Man seriously injured during 'large scale disorder' at Reading bus stop
A man has been seriously injured after what police describe as a 'large scale disorder' broke out in Reading.
The incident involving a group of white men and women in their 20s and 30s happened on Sunday morning between 12:45am and 1:15am (10 April) by the bus stop outside the White Eagle pub in Oxford Road.
A 38-year-old man was seriously injured and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Investigating officer, Detective Inspector James Humphries, said:
“This was a significant disorder, which has left a man seriously injured and in need of hospital treatment.
“We are still trying to establish the exact circumstances of what took place, and as such, information from the public is vital at this stage.
“We believe that a large number of people would have witnessed this take place, and I would like to hear from anyone who has any information about the incident at all. Specifically many vehicles were using Oxford Road at that time and any dash-cam footage would be beneficial.
“If you saw the offence take place, or have any other information which you think could be relevant to our investigation, then please get in touch.”
