Witness appeal after man stabbed during aggravated burglary

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was stabbed during a 'terrifying' aggravated burglary in Maidenhead this morning.

At about 4.10am three offenders forced entry into a property in York Road where they demanded money from two victims, a man aged 54 and woman aged 48, before threatening them with a knife.

Inside the property was also a boy aged in his teens.

The man sustained a stab wound, and was taken to hospital with a non-life threatening injury, where he remains.

No one else was injured, and at this time it is not believed anything was stolen.

The offenders then fled the property on foot and are believed to have entered a vehicle in Fotherby Court, and then driven it off in the direction of Queen Street.

The vehicle is described as a small, black coloured SUV vehicle, with silver roof rack bars.

There are currently no physical descriptions of the offenders available.
