A gang allegedly carrying a baseball bat, sticks and a knife chased three people in a terrifying broad daylight attack.

Three 17-year-old boys and an 18-year-old man, all from High Wycombe, were arrested, with detectives continuing to investigate the shocking incident in Princes Risborough.

Between 3.40pm and 3.55pm on Thursday a blue Volkswagen Golf stopped in the middle of Longwick Road.

The occupants of the Golf got out and an altercation occurred between them and nearby pedestrians.

They chased the victims, two women, one aged 36 years old and the other aged 18, and a 16-year-old boy with weapons including a knife, baseball bat and sticks.

No one was injured during the incident.

Three 17-year-old boys and an 18-year-old man, all from High Wycombe, were arrested on Friday on suspicion of affray in connection with the incident and were released under investigation.

Investigating officer, sergeant Kay Dickinson, based at High Wycombe Investigation Hub, said: “This was a busy time with queuing traffic due to it being school pick up time.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have photographed, videoed or has dash-cam footage of the incident to contact us.”
