According to the police, the first incident took place on Friday evening at around 9pm in the town centre of Huntingdon. A man, who has been described as in his late twenties, allegedly threatened a group of teenagers with a knife. The teenagers, who were unharmed, quickly alerted the authorities and the suspect fled the scene before the police arrived.
The second incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in St Neots, approximately 10 miles away from Huntingdon. A woman in her thirties reported being approached by a man with a knife at a local park. The woman managed to escape unharmed, and the police were informed of the incident.
The third and most recent incident happened on Saturday evening in Huntingdon, where a man in his twenties was reportedly attacked by a knife-wielding suspect. The victim suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The suspect once again fled the scene before the authorities arrived.
These three incidents have been linked to the suspect of the Huntingdon train attack, which took place on Saturday morning. The attack left one person dead and several others injured.
