At around 11pm on Saturday (6/6) two men were approached by a group of people asking if they wanted to purchase drugs in Elms Park, Thame. When the two men declined one of them was grabbed and hit by a member of the group and another member of the group threatened the two men with a knife demanding they hand over their possessions.
The two men did not hand anything over and the group of people dispersed.
The victim who was hit sustained bruising to his chin and neck and a cut tongue. He did not require hospital treatment.

The third offender is described as a white man. He was wearing a grey jacket with a black hood underneath. He is believed to have been carrying the knife.
