"We are aware of three incidents that occurred in Peterborough on Friday evening (31 October) and Saturday morning (1 November). The first incident of a man with a knife at a barber's in Fletton happened at 7.25pm on Friday but was reported to us at 9.10pm two hours after the incident occurred. At the time of reporting the man was no longer there and had not returned, so we did not send officers, but a crime was raised."
"There was also a third incident that police also believe may be linked which also happened on Friday 31 October at 7.10pm, where a 14-year-old was stabbed by a man with a knife in the city centre. They were taken to Peterborough city hospital with minor injuries and were later discharged. The offender had left the scene when the call was made and despite a search of the area by officers and a police dog, the offender was not identified."
