Detective Constable Rachael Hinkley said: “We are appealing for anyone who might have been in the butchers or in Broadfield Barton at the time and might have seen what happened.

“We believe these people are known to each other and that the argument might have started elsewhere.

“We are keen to speak to any witnesses who can help with our on-going investigation.”

Police said two people, a 35-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman both from Crawley, were arrested on suspicion of GBH with intent and have been released under investigation.
