Attempted murder arrests after Telford crossbow attack

Two men have been been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a crossbow attack.

A 23-year-old man was hurt on Partridge Drive, Ketley, Telford, at about 21:45 GMT on Sunday.

He needed hospital treatment for an injury which was not life-threatening, West Mercia Police said.

Two men in their 30s, arrested shortly after the incident, remain in police custody as investigations continue.
