A 19-year-old woman was put in a headlock, spat at and told to leave the country during a racially-aggravated attack in a High Wycombe supermarket car park.

The woman was assaulted at around 8pm on Wednesday after shopping in the Asda supermarket in Crest Road, High Wycombe.

The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a car outside the main entrance to the store when she was abused by two men and a woman who had parked next to her.

The woman, who was standing next to the vehicle smoking, hit the side of the victim’s vehicle.

When the victim got out of the car the woman racially abused her, told her to leave the country and pushed her.

One of the men, now out of the vehicle, grabbed the victim in a headlock and twisted her arm, leaving the victim struggling to breathe.

The man then threatened the victim and spat in her face.

The victim fled the scene. She was left with a sore wind pipe and was treated at Stoke Mandeville Hospital for cuts and bruises.

Investigating officer, PC Hannah Davison, based at Wycombe Police Station, said: “We take offences of this nature extremely seriously and we are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.
