WINDSOR: Police are seeking witnesses to a ‘distressin­g’ incident where two men wielding an axe and a knife robbed members of the public.

On Saturday, at about 10.25pm, two men and a woman were sat on the riverside in Windsor, next to Eton Bridge, when two men walked past them and climbed the stairs up to the bridge.

About 10 minutes later, the men returned, armed with an axe and a knife, and demanded that the victims hand over their belongings.

The men took two phones and a wallet and ran back up the stairs. No one was injured.

The first offender was of a medium build, with tanned skin and dark eyes, in his early 20s and between 6ft and 6ft 2ins tall. He wore a balaclava, a hooded top, grey jogging bottoms and white shoes and carried a knife.

The second man was described as being slim and also in his early 20s.

About 6ft tall, he had tanned skin and was wearing a black jacket and dark blue jeans. He also wore a balaclava and carried an axe.

Contact police on 101.

A 25-year-old man from Slough has been arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has been released on bail.
