An armed police response unit was called to deal with an incident in the city after reports of a knife and gun being brandished. Police were called after a car was driven through a hedge during a disturbance in Hartwell Way, Ravensthorpe, Peterborough. A car, which is believed to have been carrying the two men, ploughed through a hedge and collided with the home in Hartwell Way, Ravensthorpe. A number of men are thought to have jumped out of the vehicle prior to an altercation breaking out on the home's front lawn.
Three people were inside the property at the time, including a nine-month-old baby, but the occupants were unharmed. Homeowner Simon Hallowell was on a night shift when the incident happened at 1.20am, but today described the shocking scene that met a family member as he looked out of a window. He said: "My relative was woken by a bang and thought it was a burglary. He looked out of the window and saw two people having a stand-off, one holding a knife and the other a rifle-like object". Following the argument, the silver car made off with three or four people inside.
Insp Snow said that it was likely that there would be "extensive damage" to the car due to the collision. One man, who left the scene in the car, is described as black, and was wearing a white T-shirt and grey jogging bottoms. A second man, who fled on foot, is described as black, 6ft 1in and wore black clothing with a hood up.
