Police attended School Lane, Downley, at around 6pm on Friday after a man in his sixties suffered a stab wound.

Police said it was “very fortunate” no-one suffered life-threatening injuries after an officer was shot in the leg with a crossbow.

On Saturday afternoon, police said the man had been released from hospital and praised the “incredible bravery” shown by the officers who confronted the armed offender. “The 54-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remains in hospital under police supervision in a critical condition with serious, potentially life-changing injuries.“We were able to bring the incident to a swift conclusion, with all victims being treated following a rapid response by South Central Ambulance Service.”Buckinghamshire commander Chief Superintendent Emma Burroughs said the incident was “hugely challenging and unsettling” for the local community.

A large police cordon remains in place at the scene and the incident is being investigated as an “absolute priority”, Chief Supt Burroughs said.
