ROBBERS stamped on a Tesco delivery driver so hard their footprint marks were left behind on his bruised torso.

The father-of-four, who asked not to be named, was set upon by two men while on his delivery round in Meadow Lane, off Donnington Bridge Road, Iffley, Oxford, at about 9.30pm yesterday.

The pair demanded money but were told Tesco home delivery trucks do not carry cash.

The men then smashed the driver in the face and pushed him to the ground before stamping on his body, leaving footprint marks on his torso.

The 36-year-old driver was recovering at home yesterday with a black eye, bruising and suspected cracked ribs.

He said: “They pulled my T-shirt over my head then kicked and stamped on my body. I was a bit shaken up.”

The two men are described as Asian.

A Tesco spokesman said: “We are shocked at this attack and will fully assist police with their inquiries.

“Our customers rightly expect a comprehensive and convenient delivery service from us but we need to balance this with the safety of our staff.

“We will be investigating this incident and will take any steps we feel we need to.”

A Tesco delivery driver was assaulted following an argument in Divinity Road, East Oxford, on February 16.
