Investigation After Liquid Thrown Into People’s Faces In Kibworth

Police are investigating after people in Kibworth Beauchamp had liquid thrown in their faces by the passenger of a car.

It happened at around 8.45pm on Sunday when the dark-coloured 4×4 type vehicle pulled up next to a couple walking near the Co-Op on the High Street and beside a woman near the cricket club on Fleckney Road.

The male passenger shouted ‘excuse me’ and when the pedestrians approached the vehicle the liquid was thrown at them.

Luckily it did not cause any injury as the substance is believed to have been some kind of drink, although those involved were left shaken.

Enquiries are continuing and Sergeant Pete Jelbert from Market Harborough Police Station is appealing for any witnesses to come forward:

The incidents took place on High Street & Fleckney Road
