The victims were a 66 year old man and a 67 year old woman. Officers arrested a 26 year old man and a 23 year old woman at the scene. Medical assistance was sought for the victims – the man sustained numerous non life threatening injuries, but the woman was uninjured, although both were understandably very distressed.
