A woman has been kicked in the head in an unprovoked attack at a bus stop in Wokingham, prompting a police appeal for witnesses. 

At around 1pm on Saturday at the Plough Lane bus stop on London Road, the victim, a woman in her thirties, was approached by a man in his twenties - who proceeded to kick the woman in the head, unprovoked.

The victim suffered a head injury and a cut to her mouth. She did not require hospital treatment.

A witness who was driving past alerted people in the area by sounding her car horn before rushing to the victim’s aid.

The offender is described as a black man aged in his late twenties to early thirties, according to Thames Valley Police.

He was wearing dark tracksuit bottoms, a white top with black sleeves which had a black symbol. He also had his hood up and had a goatee-style beard.
