Man arrested following assault at Crawley petrol station

A man has been arrested after an assault at a petrol station in Crawley.

Police are looking for witnesses to the incident which involved the occupants of a black Nissan Qashqai and a white Ford Transit at Broadfield Petrol Station at about 12.15pm on Sunday, April 11.

One man suffered a wound to his forearm and two others suffered minor injuries. A 47-year-old man has been arrested on suspicions of grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of assault and threatening a person with a blade in a public place.
He has been released under investigation while inquiries continue.

Police believe the assault may be connected to an incident the previous day, around 12.30pm on Saturday, April 10, on the A23 at the junction with Gossops Drive.

Officers received a report of an altercation involving five men, believed to be the occupants of a black Nissan Qashqai, a blue Ford Transit and a white Ford Transit.

No serious injuries were reported, but the incident did hold up traffic in the area for a short space of time.

Police would like to speak to anyone who saw what happened, or who may have captured any relevant dash cam footage. Anyone with information is asked to get in touch online or by calling 101 quoting serial 620 of 10/04.
