Man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after woman is hit by transit van

A man has arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a ‘serious assault’ in Slough yesterday (Monday).

Police were called to Wexham Golf Club in Wexham Street at 6.22pm to reports of a ‘disorder’ outside the club which involved a group of women.

A female pedestrian was involved in a collision with a silver transit van during the incident.

The 27-year-old sustained a fractured pelvis and is currently being treated in hospital.

A 24-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 24-year-old woman from London was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

They are both currently in custody.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Thomas Gregory, said: “At this stage we believe that the people involved in this incident were known to each other.

“There is a scene watch in place in Wexham Street and officers are in the area making enquiries.”

People are being assured that this was an isolated incident.  

Superintendent Yvette Hitch, LPA Commander for Chiltern and South Bucks, said: "I would like to reassure local residents that although this was a serious assault on a woman, involving a disorder in a public place, there is not thought to be any threat to the wider community.

“It appears to have been a contained incident involving people who were known to each other.”
