Thames Valley Police is searching for a man who repeatedly struck a pharmacy entrance door after being escorted away.

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after a public order incident at Day Lewis Pharmacy in Greenwood Way, Didcot on Thursday, October 8. Between 3.45pm and 4pm, a man entered the pharmacy and was asked by staff to leave. He returned shortly afterwards and was again asked to leave. Staff members and members of the public then escorted him from the store. Once outside, he repeatedly struck the entrance door before leaving the area.

Police describe the offender as a white man, aged approximately in his mid-thirties to forties, around 5ft 11ins tall, of average build, with a scruffy beard. He was wearing a dark hooded jacket, dark trousers, white trainers, a black cap and sunglasses, and was carrying a champagne-style bottle.

A 48-year-old man from Abingdon has been arrested on suspicion of public order offences and released on bail while enquiries continue. PC Alexander Glover appealed for anyone who was in the pharmacy or area at the time and may have seen the man to come forward, and asked for CCTV, dash-cam or other footage that could assist the investigation.
