Two men assaulted in separate attacks
Police appeal for witnesses to weekend violence
Two men have been assaulted in two separate, unprovoked attacks, which police believe may be in response to a series of sex attacks in the city.
The first incident happened on Saturday (20/6) in the Great Linford area at about 5.30pm. A man was called a paedophile before being assaulted from behind, where he was punched and kicked.
The second happened on Sunday night (21/6) at about 10.20pm. A 45-year-old man was walking along a redway close to Stantonbury Park when he saw a group of eight young people. It was reported that one of the group approached him and said 'You're the rapist' before punching him in the face.
The offender in the second incident is 17 years old, of mixed race, 6ft and well built. He was wearing a white baseball cap, white sleeveless shirt and three-quarter length black, white and grey camouflage trousers.
Det Insp Dave Dachtler said: "We are concerned that these attacks are a response to the sexual assaults currently being investigated by police. If people have concerns about an individual in relation to any crime they should contact the police and let us deal with it.
"Any assault or act of vigilante behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. These offenders are not acting for the good of the community they are merely thugs using the serious nature of the sexual assaults as an excuse for violence."
Anyone with information can contact CID at MK police station on 0845 8 505 505.
