Police are appealing for witnesses after a disabled man was assaulted in Nelson Street, Jericho.

Between 9pm and 9.30pm on Saturday, a 52-year-old man opened his front door, believing that his carer had arrived.

He saw four men in a blue Ford Fiesta who had parked in his parking space.

When the man asked them to move their car as he was expecting his carer to arrive, the driver punched him in the stomach and the passenger hit him over the head with an implement.

PC Steve Gibbens said: “This man suffered a nasty bruise to his head and I am keen to find whoever is responsible.

“I am appealing for anyone who might have seen this unprovoked assault take place, to contact me.”

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact PC Gibbens at Oxford police station via 0845 8 505 505, or if you don’t want to talk to the police or give your name, call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
