A man from High Wycombe has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent, after a man was stabbed three times.

The 18 year-old has been released on conditional bail until 26 June.

It is in connection with an incident which happened between 8.50pm and 9.30pm on Wednesday (26 May).

The victim, a 22 year-old man, was at the KFC in Wycombe Retail Park, Ryemead Way, when he was grabbed by two men.

One of them punched the victim in the face and the other, whom the victim recognised, took a small kitchen knife from his waistband and stabbed at the victim three times in his right buttock.

The victim ran off and was later taken to hospital, where he received stitches to his wound.

He has since been discharged.

The unknown offender is described as a black male, under 6ft in height with a large build and tight curly black hair.
