Following a knife-wielding violent altercation outside a pizzeria, four males have been taken into custody in Epsom.
Around 9.30 p.m. on April 24, there were complaints of violence outside Papa John’s on Epsom High Street, which prompted the arrests.

A Green Renault Scenic thought to be connected to the suspects was observed driving away from the incident and was later stopped at Clacket Lane services when police arrived.
In the interim, the men who had been arrested were released on bond.
