A driver in Oxford has been hurt in a machete attack.
Thames Valley Police officers are appealing for witnesses following an incident in Cowley yesterday.
At about 2.53pm, the victim, a 27-year-old man, was driving along Crowell Road when his vehicle was approached by a pedestrian wielding the machete.
The offender struck the victim, who suffered cuts to his hands. The attacker then ran off.
Det Insp John Turner, who is investigating the incident, said: ”We would like to reassure the public that this was not a random attack as we believe the victim and the offender know each other.
“We would urge anyone who witnessed or has information about the incident to contact the police immediately.”
Anyone with information should contact Thames Valley Police on 101 or the Crimestoppers line 0800 555111 on an anonymous basis.
