Witness appeal following assault in Aldershot

We are appealing for witnesses and information following an assault in Aldershot.

At around 4.30pm on Wednesday 4 October, a man in his 20s was assaulted on Ash Road, opposite the Sainsbury’s Local store.

Moments later, an altercation has then occurred involving the same people in the nearby industrial estate, opposite the BP garage.

A man in his 20s suffered an injury to his head.

Officers have launched an investigation and have been carrying out various enquiries. We believe there were a number of witnesses who have yet to be identified or spoken with.

We are now appealing for those people to come forward to help with our investigation. Were you in the area at the time? Did you witness the incident? Do you have any dashcam footage or CCTV images that may assist our enquiries?

As part of our investigation, a 34-year-old man from Guildford has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.

He has been bailed with conditions until 8 January while our enquiries continue.

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting the reference number 44230406589.
