All three remain in police custody as enquiries continue.
Three people have been arrested after a car was rammed by another vehicle before men armed with machetes launched an attack in Birmingham.
West Midlands Police were called to Yardley Wood Road at approximately 00:40 GMT on Monday, November 9, following reports of an incident involving several men.
The incident reportedly began when another vehicle rammed the victim’s car. The occupants were then allegedly attacked by men carrying machetes before the suspects fled the scene.
Police launched an investigation and tracked a suspected vehicle, identified as a BMW, towards the Uxbridge area.
Thames Valley Police subsequently stopped the vehicle on the M40, where three people were arrested in connection with the reported attack.
All three remain in police custody as enquiries continue. Police confirmed that nobody was injured during the incident.
The circumstances surrounding the attack, including what may have led to the confrontation, have not yet been established.
The arrests followed a cross-force response, with officers from two police forces involved in locating the suspected vehicle after it left Birmingham.
The police operation also caused significant disruption for motorists travelling along the M40 on Monday morning.
The southbound carriageway was closed for more than two hours near junction 2a for Gerrards Cross while officers dealt with the incident.
National Highways warned drivers of delays of up to 90 minutes, with queues stretching for approximately four miles.
The closure affected motorists travelling towards London, with traffic building up while the police operation remained ongoing.
The motorway was later reopened after officers completed their work at the scene, allowing traffic to resume.
The incident began in Birmingham during the early hours of Monday, before the suspected vehicle was located further south.
Police have not released further details about the three people arrested, including their ages or whether they were known to the victim.
Officers have also not confirmed whether any machetes were recovered following the arrests or whether weapons were seized during the operation.
Investigations are continuing to establish the full circumstances of the incident and the events leading up to the reported attack.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant information may be able to assist police with their enquiries.
The three individuals remain in custody and have not been charged. Police enquiries are ongoing as officers work to establish exactly what happened on Yardley Wood Road.
