Malaki Barton, aged 19 was sentenced to a year in prison, while Louis Barker-Wood, aged 20 was sentenced to nine months in prison at Aylesbury Crown Court yesterday (14/12).
At around 4.25pm on 26 August this year, Barton and Barker-Wood confronted a group of people in KFC at Wycombe Retail Park on London Road.
Both men threatened, punched and kicked members of the public while Barton wielded a knife.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and officers attended swiftly but both men had made off.
Following an investigation, Barton was arrested on 5 September after trying to evade officers. He was charged later that day.
Barker-Wood was arrested on 23 September and charged the next day (24/9).
Investigating officer Detective Constable Richard Tulloch, of High Wycombe CID, said: “I am pleased both Barton and Barker-Wood have been sentenced for their roles in this horrific incident.
“I would like to thank the members of the public who came forward to provide witness accounts and information as it directly contributed to our investigation.
“Thames Valley Police will not tolerate knife crime. We will continue to ensure the public is safe from those who carry knives and that offenders will be brought to justice for their actions.”
