Three arrests after man stabbed in head

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after another man was stabbed in the head.

The victim, in his early 20s, was involved in an altercation with about 10 people in Aylesbury on Monday evening, Thames Valley Police said.

Officers believed the man was attacked with a screwdriver. He has since been treated and discharged from hospital.

Two men, aged 18, and another aged 20, remain in police custody. Police have appealed for witnesses.

The attack happened in the area of Oxford Road, Whitehall Street and Buckingham Street at about 18:40 BST.

Det Insp Philip Turner-Robson said: "This was a disorder involving multiple people which quickly escalated from a verbal altercation into violence.

"A man sustained stab wounds to his head in the incident, believed to be with a screwdriver, but thankfully his injuries are not life-threatening and he is no longer in hospital.

"We have made three arrests, and I would like to reassure the local community that we are investigating this incident as a priority, and there has been and will continue to be a presence of officers in the area while this investigation continues."
