Knife and Axe Gang Terrorise Windsor Riverside
Chaos erupted near Windsor Town Bridge late Saturday night as two masked men armed with a knife and an axe robbed a trio by the riverside.
Terrifying Standoff at Eton Bridge
At around 10:25pm on 28 November, two men and a woman were relaxing by the river on the Windsor side when two suspicious men strolled past and climbed the bridge stairs.
After 10-15 minutes, the pair returned—one brandishing a knife, the other wielding an axe. They violently banged their weapons against the wall before demanding the group hand over their belongings.
The victims complied, tossing phones and a wallet to the attackers who swiftly fled up the stairs and vanished into the night. Miraculously, nobody was hurt.
Police Hunt Two Balaclava-Clad Thugs
- First offender: Medium build, tanned skin, dark eyes, early 20s, around 6ft to 6ft 2ins tall. Wearing a hooded top, grey joggers, white trainers, a balaclava, and armed with a knife.
- Second offender: Slim, tanned skin, early 20s, about 6ft tall. Dressed in a black jacket, dark blue jeans, balaclava, and carrying an axe.
Police Plea for Witnesses
“I am appealing to anyone who was near Eton Bridge on Saturday night or recognises these descriptions to come forward,” said Case Investigator Harriet Driver from Maidenhead police station. “This was a terrifying ordeal for the victims. Thankfully, nobody was injured.
