Helping a stranger left a Beaconsfield dad with a fractured nose and head injuries after a harrowing attack by a group of teenagers.

More than one month after, Karl Boateng-Nsiah is still recovering from the mindless night-time attack in High Wycombe.

The sequence of events leading to the unprovoked attack started at Beaconsfield Esso on July 9 around midnight.

When Mr Boateng-Nsiah stopped at the petrol station to buy tea for his wife, he ended up helping a drunk woman, who struggled to get her money out from the cashpoint.

He said: “I went to my car, and I was on the phone to my missus and told her what happened about someone being drunk on the counter.”

After a taxi driver refused to take the woman to her destination in Forgetts Road, Lane End for the £20 she had taken out, she asked Mr Boateng-Nsiah if he could drop her off.

“I have a wife and an 80-year-old dad and would only hope that someone would come to their aide in their time of need if they were ever stranded outside,” he said.

“She gave the postcode, and it wasn’t too far. It was past midnight, no cars on the road, and it was a pretty quick journey. She was on the phone to her friend, saying she was in the cab, which I thought was a bit weird.”

During the journey, the pair chatted about life, and he mentioned his two young children. 

Nearer to the destination in Lane End, the woman told someone on the phone she was almost there and tried to offer him £20 she had taken from the cashpoint, which he declined.

When they pulled over, a bare-chested male in his teens approached the driver’s side, opened the door and asked if Mr Boateng-Nsiah was the taxi driver.

He said: “I said 'I’m wearing slippers and I have paint all over me, I’ve been painting and I saw her at the petrol station and was doing her a favour'.”

He then added how two guys and two girls appeared and he could hear them shouting names. Around 10 teenagers came to the car park.

“As I tried to go back to the car, it was lights out, I got hit so hard from behind I didn't even know what it was, I fell down, I could feel the kicks, they kicked my head, I thought I had been stabbed, but I couldn’t see any stabbing wounds which was a saving grace.”

“I got back into the car, and called police straight away, and they said let’s have a drive around the area." 

The attack left Karl with multiple fractures on his nose, bruised head, damage to his eye, bruised ribs and jaw, and “pains all over".

“I still have pains with my right eye, because it was bloodied and now the blood is gone, but I still get migraines from the kicks to the head.

“I never had migraine before, and now after this whole thing, even now I’ve talking to you if I pass my hand over my head it’s still lumpy, on the right side my nose is till swollen and hasn’t come down. The actual bone has shifted and its affecting my breathing.”

He was disappointed the police hadn't progressed further with the case, and all he was told was they were carrying out investigations. 

His wife added: “He is the sole breadwinner of our family and now he can’t see and breathe properly because he decided to help someone he believed was vulnerable at the time.”

The police confirmed they received a report of an assault that happened around 12.40am on July 9 in Forgetts Lane. 

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information can contact police by calling 101 or making a report online, quoting reference 43220301761.”
