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.
