Another person has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder as police make a further appeal for information following a terrifying attack in Bicester.

As we reported yesterday (Wednesday), two people were arrested after a woman was attacked by an armed gang in a house on Fakenham Street.

Today (Thursday), police said a A 17-year-old boy from Bicester has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent, aggravated burglary and being concerned in the supply of a class A drug. He has been released on bail until 17 August.

This follows two previous arrests - a 45-year-old man from Bicester, arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit GBH; and an 18-year-old man from London, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Police believe the gang of men used a knife during the assault on a woman in her thirties.
