Two people have been arrested following a serious assault in Burnham-On-Sea early on Wednesday morning (27th May) that left three people injured.
Police have now re-opened the car park at Apex Park, which was taped off for 12 hours while they gathered evidence and began their investigation.
Officers were called at around 6.15am to Apex Park in Marine Drive, Burnham-On-Sea, following a call from the ambulance service about one person with a laceration to the wrist, which may be life-changing.
“Upon attendance, two other people were located with injuries. All three have been taken to hospital by paramedics to receive further treatment,” says a Police spokesperson.
“Following CCTV trawls and initial enquiries led by officers, a 30-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent.”
Neighbourhood Chief Inspector Becky Wells-Cole told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We understand this will be a very distressing scene for some people but we would like to reassure you that we believe this is an isolated incident and the individuals are all known to each other.”
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the incident and residents can expect to see a heightened police presence in and around Apex Park, as well as in Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge.”
“If anyone has any concerns, I do encourage you to speak to your local neighbourhood police officer as they can provide reassurance.”
