男人被逮捕后Scene-watch到位for attempted murder in Milton Keynes

A 25-year-old man has been arrested for attempted murder following an incident in Wavendon Gate late last night (Monday).

Another male, who is in his thirties, is sadly in hospital with life-threatening injuries, say police.

The incident happened at around 9.30pm in the underpass between Groveway and Newport Road in Wavendon Gate.

Newport Road near the Glebe Farm estate was closed off for many hours and a large number of police officers were seen searching the area.

The centre of the crime scene seems to be the underpass and nearby redway leading to the BP garage on Newport Road. Both of these were taped off overnight.

Police say the arrested man remains in custody and they are now appealing for witnesses to the assault.

Detective Chief Inspector James Horseman, Crime Manager for Milton Keynes, said: “This was a serious incident that we are investigating thoroughly, with a suspect currently in police custody.

“There is a large scene-watch in place and residents will see an increased police presence in the area while officers and staff carry out enquiries.

“We believe this was an isolated incident and that there is no wider risk to the public but I understand people may have concerns and I encourage you to discuss these with any of our uniformed officers.

“Anyone with information or CCTV or dash-cam footage should call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference number 43230477527.

“Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.”
