Police said 'there has been no suggestion of an injured person presenting at hospital or to the ambulance service.'

Investigating officer Detective Inspector James Jackson, of Reading CID, said: “At this stage, there remains no suggestion of an injured party, as all checks with South Central Ambulance Service and the local hospitals have not located an incident that would suggest any injury.

“As such, at this point, we do not believe the source of the blood is as a result of an assault, although we retain an open mind as to these unusual circumstances, and are carrying out a thorough investigation."

CCTV footage shows a man walking along Broad Street to Kings Street who 'appears to be carrying a white plastic bag with a quantity of liquid inside'.
