Two teenagers have been arrested after a sword was used in an attack on a boy near a Catholic school in Gloucester , police said. Officers were called to Chalford Road, near to St Peter’s High School, in Tuffley, shortly after 8.50am on Friday. It was reported that two males – one in possession of a sword – had been seen chasing two 17-year-old boys, one of whom sustained a “superficial wound”. Armed police attended the scene on Friday to search for the suspects, who reportedly fled on foot. A 19-year-old man was arrested overnight on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray, Gloucestershire Constabulary said. While an 18-year-old man handed himself into police on Saturday morning, and has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon, assault and affray. Both men remain in police custody, while a woman arrested yesterday on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on police bail. One of the victims sustained a minor wound, while the second boy did not receive any physical injuries from the attack, the force said. Detective Inspector Sophie Dawkins said: “We completely understand the concern this incident would have caused, especially when it happened near a school at drop-off time.” Inquiries about the incident are ongoing and information can be submitted to Gloucestershire Police online, quoting reference number 53260095808.
