AN emergency worker's car has been deliberately damaged in an unprovoked attack after he left it parked at a city supermarket.

The public sector worker, who did not wish to be identified and said he has 'no enemies', parked his Honda CR-V within a bay at the new Lidl supermarket in Droitwich Road, Worcester this morning.

However, when he returned to his car there was a deep scratch on the driver's door. CCTV is now being examined by police who say it would be helpful if the driver of a black Mercedes, parked next to the CR-V, could come forward with any information which might assist police with ongoing enquiries or rule him or her out of the investigation. 

The CR-V was said by the owner to have been parked within a bay.

He said: "I parked up my white Honda CR-V at 11.30am this morning at Lidl, Droitwich Road, Worcester with no damage.

"I was parked next to a black Mercedes. I came back to the car, the Mercedes was gone but the scratch was on my driver's door. It's down the metal, and not been caused by a door simply opening.

"As far as I know I have no enemies and all I'd ask is for folk to consider who from their family and friends were at Lidl using a black Mercedes at that time.

"It may be that a passenger in the Mercedes caused the damage without the driver knowing or it may be the Mercedes is nothing to do with the damage.

"It's definitely an attack. I can't see how this damage could have been caused accidentally. It's doubly annoying due to the cost of repair with the cost of living crisis."
