Appeal after assaulted man had black VW Golf driven at him in Rushden
Two incidents that saw a man assaulted by a group of men shortly before being driven at in a Rushden street are being linked by police.
Officers are appealing for witnesses following the incidents on Thursday, September 3.
The first incident happened in the High Street shortly before 7.45pm when a man was reportedly assaulted by a group of men, sustaining minor injuries.
A short time later, in Station Road, a black Volkswagen Golf was allegedly driven towards the man, causing members of his family to pull him out of the road to avoid being struck.
A spokesman for Northants Police said: “We only have a limited description of the driver, who was a white man in his early 30s.
“Officers investigating the incidents would like to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened or who may have CCTV, doorbell, dash-cam or other footage which could assist with their enquiries.
“They would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have seen the black Volkswagen Golf in the High Street or Station Road areas around the time of the incidents, or who may be able to identify the driver or the vehicle involved.”
