Witnesses wanted after suspected GBH at HS2 Wendover site

On Wednesday (5/5) a man was stood by the side of a HGV in Jones Barn Farm Hill, when it is believed a green laser was shone towards him.

It happened at 2.15pm at a HS2 construction site in Wendover.

He turned towards the light source, which then went into both of his eyes, causing his vision to be impaired and prevented him from working. His eyesight remained impaired and blurred for 15 minutes, and he has since suffered pain in his eyes.

The victim - a man in his fifties - has received hospital treatment since.

Two other people in the area also noted that they had a laser shone towards them, however they did not sustain any blurred vision or injury.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “This incident was a dangerous act, which resulted in a man aged in his fifties sustaining blurred vision and also pain in his eyes.

“We would ask that anyone in the area at this time who may have information on this to come forward and make a report to police, by calling 101 and quoting 43210192922. You can also make a report online, or call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, for 100% anonymity.”
