Man suffers knife wound to neck after fight involving 10 males on Milton Keynes estate

At around 3.45pm a group of ten males were seen to be fighting with weapons in Wadesmill Lane, Walnut Tree.

As a result of the incident, an 18-year-old man suffered a knife wound to his back and neck which required hospital treatment, say police.

The man has since been discharged from hospital.

Weapons have been recovered, including a hammer, knife and an imitation firearm.

Parts of the estate were sealed off and police used tracker dogs and the force helicopter to conduct a search.

An 18-year-old man, three 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy, all from Milton Keynes, have been arrested on suspicion of assault and affray and have all since been released on conditional police bail until 22 June.
