Police are appealing for information

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

POLICE are appealing for two specific witnesses to come forward in connection with an investigation into an attempted murder.

At around 10.30am on Friday, December 17, a woman in her thirties was assaulted by two men in a property in Foxhays Road, Whitley.

The victim was stabbed in her face and neck and an unknown substance was thrown over her.

She was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.

So far, a 33-year-old man from High Wycombe has been arrested in connection with this incident and released on police bail.

Officers believe that a couple who were walking through Foxhays Road onto Wentworth Avenue around the time of the incident may have information that could help the investigation.
