The 16-year-old claimed he was set upon by several attackers, including one who was armed with a machete.
An ambulance rushed the teen to St John of God Hospital Midland where he was treated for a laceration on his head, as well as other cuts and bruises.
Police confirmed they attended the scene around 10.20pm after St John WA advised they were responding to a report a 16-year-old male had been assaulted on Newburn Road in High Wycombe.
