DETECTIVES are hunting a knife-wielding gang who threatened a couple in Epsom.
The incident occurred at around 10.50pm on Friday May 3 as a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman walked through Rosebery Park on Ashley Road and were approached by four men.
One of the offenders threatened the man with a knife but nothing was taken and neither victim was injured during the incident.
