Commissioner asks police to review knife incidents

A police and crime commissioner (PCC) has called for an investigation into three knife-related incidents the police are reviewing for possible links to the train attack suspect.

Cambridgeshire Police said it was re-examining an attack on a 14-year-old boy and two reports of a knifeman at a barbers’ shop in Peterborough between Friday and Saturday.

Darryl Preston, Cambridgeshire’s PCC, said he asked Simon Megicks, the county’s chief constable, to review these incidents which occurred prior to the mass stabbing on board a train on Saturday evening.
