Two men were arrested for shoplifting following an incident at a supermarket in Leighton Buzzard last night.
Beds Police attended the scene at Morrisons on Lake Street at 10.18pm after a member of staff reportedly saw one man in possession of a knife.
Witnesses told the LBO it was a “big struggle” to restrain the offenders as it took four people to hold them down until the police arrived.
Both men were taken to Bedford South Wing Hospital in need of medical attention.
Once they had been checked over they were taken into custody where they still remain.
A Morrisons spokesman said: “Following an incident at the store last night, the police were called and duly attended.
“We are helping the police with their enquiries.”
