Police hunt scooter gang of four following 'nasty' stabbing at Milton Keynes Co-op shop

Thames Valley Police said that at approximately 6.45pm on Thursday (November 19), the victim, a 24-year-old man, was approached by the group of four males who were riding scooters, believed to be either stunt scooters or electric scooters, outside the Post Office in Netherfield local centre, Farthing Grove.

Officers said the group began attacking the victim by punching and kicking him and the victim ran towards the Co-op, seeking refuge inside the store.

He was chased and attacked inside the shop and received a stab wound which required treatment at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

Police said the victim has since been discharged.

The offenders are all described by police as white and aged in their late teens to early 20s.

Police said one person from the group had a cage or splint around his right lower leg.

Investigating officer detective constable Greg Hughes said: “This was a nasty incident and the victim received what appears to be a wound caused by a sharply-bladed instrument.

“I am appealing to anybody who witnessed this incident to please get in touch with police by calling the 24-hour non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 43200385044.

“You can also make a report online or call the independent charity Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
