Police officers manned a cordon in a town centre park after reports of a stabbing. Parts of Horsham Park remained taped off this evening after an incident earlier in the day. Officer combed the park for evidence following reports on social media of a park this evening.
It comes after a school reported a group of people "disguised with face masks or balaclavas and carrying a knife" in the park in recent days. Collyer School in Horsham said pupils were "stopped, threatened and in more than one case had their phone stolen" in a letter to parents. The nature of this evening's incident is as yet unconfirmed.
