A 16-year-old boy suffered a broken jaw and another was hit with a hammer in an attack involving around ten teenagers in Marlow. 

At around 5pm on Saturday, a group of teenage boys left a train at Marlow train station.

When they were at the junction of Fieldhouse Way and Station Approach, a fight took place with another group of teenage boys.

A 16-year-old boy was hit with an unknown object causing a wound to his face and a broken jaw.

Another of the boys, who was also 16, was chased into the industrial estate and assaulted with an item, believed to be a hammer, causing cuts to his head.

Both victims were taken to hospital and have since been discharged.

The offenders are believed to be at least ten teenage boys aged between 14 and 17.

Nothing was stolen during the incident.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Thomas Digby from High Wycombe Force CID, said: “These nasty assaults were the result of a disorder in which one group of teenage boys was set upon by another. Both victims were very lucky not to have been more seriously injured.  

“We have made one arrest and we are conducting a thorough investigation in order to identify others involved." 

A 14 year-old boy from Holyport has been arrested on suspicion of assault and has been released under investigation.

Police would like to hear from anyone with CCTV cameras in the Station Road, Riverpark Drive and Gossmore Lane area, and are asking residents in this area to check their gardens and keep an eye out for any discarded items that may have been used.
