Both remain in police custody.

Chief Superintendent Stuart Bosley, Berkshire East Commander, said police understood the incident could cause concern because it happened in a residential area in broad daylight.

“We believe this was an isolated incident and there is no wider threat to the public,” he said.

“Our officers remain in the area carrying out enquiries and providing reassurance so please speak to them if you have any concerns.”

Police said they were working to establish exactly what happened and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Chief Supt Bosley also praised the actions of officers who attended the scene and local residents who provided emergency first aid to the victim before paramedics arrived.

“We are committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable and that the community feels safe and supported,” he said.

Officers remain in the Maidenhead area carrying out enquiries.

Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to contact Thames Valley Police, quoting reference 43260413857.

Information can also be provided anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers.
