Teen assaulted in suspected hate crime in Goring

The incident happened at approximately 7.30pm on Friday, November 24, after the victim, a man in his late teens, was leaving Goring railway station, a spokesman said.

In the station car park, three men then approached him and began assaulting him, according to the spokesman.

He was punched multiple times and sustained a cut to his hand.

The spokesman said: “This was an unprovoked and violent assault which the victim believes was motivated by hate.”

Officers describe the three men as white. One was wearing a white top and blue jeans, another was wearing a black top and white trousers and the third was wearing a dark jacket and dark trousers, said the spokesman.

Officers are keen to speak with anyone who was at the station during the incident and saw what happened.
