The 21-year-old victim was stabbed in his back and arm during an "altercation" involving a group of males in Moray Drive at about 2.45pm.

The man was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and has since been discharged.

Investigating officer, Det Con Alex Beever of Maidenhead Force CID, said: “The victim in this incident was set upon by a group of males.

“He initially thought he had only been kicked and punched, but subsequently discovered two knife wounds whilst being treated by ambulance staff.

“This was a frightening experience and I would appeal for anyone who witnessed the assault to come forward."
