At around 5.20pm on March 17, near the junction of Bridgewater Road, a man and woman got out of a white Audi and assaulted a man and woman, both in their 20s, who were in a nearby white BMW following an argument.

The female victim was left with facial injuries and a leg injury and was taken to hospital.

Detectives reviewed multiple line of inquiries, including door-to-door knocks, speaking with witnesses and reviewing available CCTV and arrested two teens as a result.

A 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl, both from Sheerness, were arrested on suspicion of assault and released on bail until tomorrow.
