Teenage girls threatened by boy wielding knife at park near the County Ground

Four teenage girls were threatened with a knife in a Swindon park on Sunday.

The girls, all aged 13-years-old, were in the park behind County Road – next to the County Cricket Ground – at around 5pm, when they were approached by a teenage boy.

The boy, who’s also believed to be around 13 years of age, threatened them with a knife before running off in the direction of Tesco Extra.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “The girls were shaken by the incident but not injured. Any witnesses to the incident should call police on 101. Enquiries are ongoing.”
