Police are appealing for witnesses after a boy was assaulted in Berinsfield.

A 14-year-old boy was by the library car park near Green Furlong yesterday when a man grabbed him by the shoulder. The boy managed to run away and as he did so the man shouted at him.

The man is white, in his twenties, 5ft 2in tall and very slim with short black hair. He was wearing a dark hooded top, white trainers and blue jeans.

He was driving a small silver four-door car which had two silver front wheels and two black rear wheels.

Det Sgt Darren Cartwright said: “The boy was unharmed, however, this is an alarming incident and I am keen to catch whoever is responsible.

“I urge anyone who might have seen this man in the area, or knows who he is, to get in touch.”
