A man has suffered serious facial and neck injuries after what Police say was an unprovoked attack in the centre of Ascot.

They were called to the Vall de Cavall restaurant in Hermitage Parade just after 10 on Sunday night after reports of a disagreement.

The victim in his late forties had been struck with a broken glass.

The victim suffered considerable blood loss and has been taken to hospital, where he remains in a serious, but not life-threatening condition at this time.

The offender is described as a white man, aged in his early to mid-20s, with short brown hair, of slim build and is around 6ft tall.

He was wearing a black top with white lines or writing horizontally on it and dark grey trousers. He was also wearing a light coloured possibly white band on his right wrist.

The offender walked out of the restaurant where he got into a dark coloured possibly black Land Rover and left the area. No arrests have been made.

Investigating officer DC Chris Jamieson of Maidenhead CID, said:

“This was a serious and completely unprovoked assault that occurred in the centre of Ascot.

“The victim suffered extensive facial and neck wounds as a result of this attack, and remains in hospital at this time.

“I am appealing to anybody who was in the vicinity of Hermitage Parade or High Street in Ascot last night and witnessed this incident to please contact police.

“I would particularly like to hear from anybody who may have dash-cam or CCTV footage from the area, especially if it has picked up the incident itself or footage of the offender getting into a dark-coloured Land Rover vehicle.

“There is currently a scene-watch in place in the area while our investigation continues, but I would add that we believe this is very much an isolated incident.

“Anybody with any information should make a report online or call the 24-hour non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 43210259279.

“Alternatively, for 100% anonymity, you can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
