North Yorkshire Police are investigating an incident at a takeaway restaurant in Harrogate in which two members of staff were attacked by a man armed with a knife.
It occurred at Oceans 11 on Kings Road at about 8pm on Saturday 9 July 2011. (Note: this was previously reported incorrectly as Bambinos)
A man entered the premises and after a brief conversation, he allegedly produced a knife and attacked two men – the shop owner and a co-worker – causing minor injuries.
