Police are appealing for witnesses following an assault in High Wycombe.
At around 10pm on Wednesday (8/5), a man in his early twenties was approached by a man he knew on Rutland Avenue by the mosque. After a short discussion, the man punched the victim, causing him to fall to the floor. The man and two accomplices then proceeded to repeatedly punch and kick the victim. The main offender may have been in possession of a knife of some sorts.
The victim received hospital treatment for minor injuries but has since been discharged.
A 20-year-old man from High Wycombe was arrested on suspicion of affray. He has been released on police bail.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Bruce Wilson said: “We are carrying out an investigation following this incident.
“At this stage of the investigation, I would like to reassure the public that this appears to be an isolated incident and officers are working to identify and locate those involved.
“However, I’m appealing to anybody who witnessed this incident to please get in touch with Thames Valley Police.
“Equally, if you were driving in the area and have a dash-cam or have a CCTV camera, please check the footage and contact us if it shows anything that you think may assist our enquiries.
