Two Chatteris teenagers among four arrested and bailed after boy stabbed in the face

Two teenagers from Chatteris have been arrested and bailed along with two others after a serious assault on a boy in Papworth Everard on Saturday.

A 999 call was made to police just before 10pm, reporting a 16-year-old boy had been stabbed in the face at the playing fields, off Ermine Street North in the village, five miles from Huntingdon.

The boy was taken to hospital with serious and possibly life-changing injuries, and has since been released.

Four people were taken into custody at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge – a 17-year-old boy from Huntingdonshire, a 17-year-old boy from Saffron Waldon in Essex, a 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man, both from Chatteris. They have all since been bailed.

Detective Inspector Lindsay Harbour said: “I understand the concern from the local community following this incident, however, I hope it provides some reassurance that we have made four arrests.

“Officers are in the area carrying out enquiries. I would urge anyone who has not yet spoken with us to make contact as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should contact police online via the reporting forms or webchat and quote 35/31987/25. Those without internet access should call 101.
