Thames Valley Police are dealing with a serious incident in High Wycombe.

A man in his sixties suffered a stab wound at an address in School Lane, Downley, at around 6pm yesterday.

Police officers attended and one was shot in the leg with a crossbow. He was taken to hospital but has since been discharged. Our thoughts are with the injured officer and the Force are doing everything to support him and his colleagues, as well as all others affected by the incident.
