THUGS charged at a man in a shopping centre and shoved him into glass doors with such force that they shattered.

A 21-year-old man was punched in the face by two men before they chased him through Castle Quay shopping centre in Banbury, and launched him through the glass panes at the other end.

Police released CCTV images this afternoon of two men they would like to speak to in relation to the assault and criminal damage, which happened at about 4.45pm on November 2.

Investigating officer PC Craig Ridgley, based at Banbury police station, said: “This incident took place in a busy shopping area in town and the commotion of the breaking glass doors will certainly have attracted attention."

He said anyone who recognises the men may have 'vital information' and urged them to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
