Two teenagers are arrested after a boy is injured in a suspected sword attack near a school in Tuffley, Gloucester, Gloucestershire Police said. The incident is reported to happen around 8.50am on Friday, when police respond and armed officers attend the scene.
Several outlets say witnesses saw two people, one with a sword, chasing two 17-year-old boys. Reports also indicate nearby schools go into lockdown during the police response, and the suspects flee on foot. One outlet notes one teenager later hands himself in, while another describes an ongoing manhunt.
Coverage focuses on police involvement and the impact on schools at drop-off time. Outlets largely agree on the core sequence—reports of sword possession and chasing, an injured 17-year-old, police attendance, and arrests—while differing in details such as ages, whether a hand-in is mentioned, and the emphasis on lockdown versus searches or manhunt language.
