Police have arrested two men following an assault in Abingdon.
A 19-year-old man had just left The Grapes pub in the early hours on January 1 and was near to the bus stop in Bath Street when two men approached him and assaulted him. The man managed to run away towards Stratton’s nightclub, followed by the two men.
PC Robert Maris said: “Police officers in the area, chased the men and, assisted by a CCTV operator were able to arrest the alleged offenders.
“Fortunately the man who was assaulted only suffered minor injuries but hopefully these arrests show that this type of behaviour in Abingdon, will not be tolerated.”
Two men, both aged 19 were arrested on suspicion of assault and have been release on police bail until January 25.
