A man was hit on the back of the head and robbed of £90 in a street near Didcot Parkway Station.

The 44-year-old man was walking along Station Road at about 6.45pm on Saturday, March 20, when he was struck on the back of the head several times before he fell unconscious to the ground.

Det Con Stephen Knight, of Thames Valley Police, said: “The victim is unsure how long he was unconscious for, but when he came round his wallet was on the ground and £90 had been removed from it.

"He suffered a black eye and a fractured left arm, with extensive swelling and bruising.

“In the moments before the attack, he remembers hearing voices and footsteps behind him and he says he believes there were possibly six people involved wearing dark clothes and hooded tops.

“The victim was bleeding extensively, so it is possible his attackers’ clothes would have been bloodstained.

“This was a nasty attack and anyone who witnessed this incident or whose partner, son or friend came home that evening with blood on them should come forward.”

Anyone with information should call Det Con Knight on 0845 850 5505 or Crimestopperson 0800 555 111.
