A man struck a teenage boy in the head with a baseball bat on Wenman Road in Witney after an altercation.
A man in his twenties was involved, and he had two big knives. He went towards a teenage boy. People think they knew each other before this. Then, the man dropped the knives and picked up a baseball bat instead. Crazy, right?
The boy then tackled the man to the ground. A fight broke out between them, during which the man hit the boy’s head with the bat. Other people jumped in to stop the fight. After that, the man ran away from the scene, and police looked for him using a helicopter.
The boy got a bad head injury, but he didn’t want to go to the hospital. Three others had small injuries. They also didn’t need a hospital.
A detective said it was a targeted attack, and he thinks the guys knew each other. He also said the public isn’t really in danger. Contact police if you worry. Police won’t stand for stuff like this. They are still looking for the attacker, and they want to bring him to justice soon.
