A man was shot by police and arrested after an officer was shot in the leg with a crossbow in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Thames Valley police said. Police attended School Lane, Downley, at about 6pm on Friday after a man in his 60s suffered a stab wound. The assistant chief constable Tim Metcalfe said one of the officers in attendance was shot in the leg with a crossbow and was taken to hospital but had since been discharged. The man who sustained the stab wound has been discharged from hospital, Metcalfe said on Saturday. A 54-year-old man from High Wycombe was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He remains in hospital under police supervision in a critical condition with serious, potentially life-changing injuries after he was shot by an armed police officer. “Our thoughts are with the injured officer and we are doing everything to support him and his colleagues, as well as all others affected by the incident within the force,” Metcalfe said. “The assault victim has also been taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Our thoughts are with him as well.” He continued: “We are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident at this time. “There is a large police presence in the area as a result but there is no ongoing threat to the wider public. Anyone with concerns should speak to a uniformed police officer.” The force has made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over the incident.
