Vicious thugs punched and hurt a woman, pushing her to the ground and continuing to threaten her even after she gave them money.

The vile attack happened between 8.45pm and 9.15pm last Sunday after the 33-year-old victim walked through Salt Hill Park into Baylis Park after withdrawing money from NatWest.

She was near Baylis Pond, when one of the offenders threatened her with a small pen knife.

She handed over two £10 notes. One offender then punched her in the face and pushed her to the ground.

Both men continued to threaten her before running off.

The victim's face was swollen and bruised on the right side and she had severe back pain.

She was taken to Slough's Wexham Park Hospital.

Police have released CCTV images of two men they believe may have vital information.

Designated Investigator Sarah Jarman based at local CID Slough said: “We are conducting a full investigation into this incident and would like to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in this area at this time.
