Witness appeal following incident in Hawley Woods

Police are appealing for information and witnesses following a report of an assault in Hawley Woods, near Farnborough

 

At around 3pm on Thursday 28 July, a teenage girl was walking through the woods, near the sailing club.

 

At the same time, a male on a red and white quad bike was riding through the same part of the woods.

 

Following a verbal exchange, the girl was struck by the bike, which knocked her to the ground.

 

She ended up underneath the bike, but thankfully, she only sustained minor injuries.

 

The rider then left the scene. He has been described as a white male, in his late teens to early 20s. He was wearing a red helmet.

 

Officers have been carrying out enquiries but are now asking the public for help.

 

Were you in the area at the time? Did you witness the incident? Do you have any footage that may help the investigation?
