“Having seen the CCTV footage I can absolutely understand how shocking this will have been – which is why we moved quickly yesterday and armed officers arrested four people, who remain in police custody.
“I also want to make clear that as a community we will not stand for people using violence such as this on our streets – and I know that we have already received significant information from the public that is actively assisting our investigation.
“I would urge anyone who has not already contacted us to get in touch and help ensure that those responsible are brought to justice quickly.
“There will be an increased police presence in the area today, and anyone with concerns can speak with officers directly.”
