Il sospetto della furia del coltello del treno di Huntingdon “ha colpito un uomo in faccia” un MESE fa – quando la polizia ha riaperto le indagini, le ha chiuse tramite SMS dopo sole 48 ore

It’s not clear if this person is the same person, although it seems likely. But it really is crazy that a number of incidents seem to have happened before with the police doing almost nothing to investigate. The same guy came into a barber shop and brandished a knife, and then separately stabbed someone, days before the attack.
What on earth is going on with the police if they treat incidents like this with such minimal effort.
I’m sorry but regardless of if this is the same guy as the train incident, the idea that someone can be slashed in the face at random and need 15 stitches and the police just go ‘oh well’ after 48 hours is astonishing to me.
That’s..like.. a proper crime; real injury and something that any fool can see could escalate into much worse crimes. This isn’t ‘benefit of hindsight’ stuff, this is really obvious.
Oh, but they ‘raised a crime’ and it’s ok.
Read this yesterday, it’s utterly shocking that within 48 hours of someone being knifed that the police are allowed to close a case like this! It’s bad enough they do it for lesser crimes but this is mental.
It’s utterly insane to me that the police closed this investigation down.
Without wishing to sound too much like a knob it seems that if you commit a serious crime in this country your best chance of being caught is if you break the speed-limit on your way home.
The Police have become a law unto themselves. What a complete waste of time these Police and Crime Commissioners are
I don’t think people realise how bad things are and how much worse they are to come. Being violently attacked with little police intervention has become normalised in 2025 – imagine 2035, 2045.
Be the victim of a nonviolent crime – ‘it’s a civil matter’
Be the victim of a violent crime – ‘there’s not enough evidence’ (even though the UK is one of the most surveilled countries on the planet).
The police in this country really are pathetic. Plenty of time to caution people over facebook posts though
Makes you wonder about the crime figures when there’s no point reporting them.
Policing in the Uk is obviously not fit for purpose.
It probably needs a complete overhaul together with proper funding from the government. That’s assuming this government is willing to do so.
Makes you wonder how many more victims there might be lying in bushes or alleyways waiting to be found?
I’m genuinely starting to think there’s an agenda at play to make us all feel so unsafe we demand they take more of our own liberties away.
This country is seriously broken from its snout to its arse .
But remember they had to take Tommy Robinson to court for not unlocking his phone.
give the police a break, it was only a minor crime, it wasn’t something hardcore like: attending a modified car ‘cruise’, posting hurty words on twitter, being an 80 year old protestor wearing a ‘plasticine action’ t-shirt, smoking a joint, shouting something a king charles and other such heinous crimes.
To much time spent working on petty crime or even aren’t crime at all.
The public want to you get your priorities sorted!
My brother got into an argument with someone over the phone who was working at the dwp. He told them they’re all useless, and should get new jobs, and the buildings should be demolished or blown up and turned into coffee shops. Three hours later he had the police at the door telling him off for offending the person. The met police, who, as we know, are infested with terrible people saying terrible things all the time, and that’s the ones not commiting DV, or rape, or murder.
I am sure that this will get voted down. However, I think a bit of balance is required. Police resources are very stretched. This is a case where the victim’s injuries were not very severe (eg not life-threatening), there was no prior link between perpetrator and victim, no good ID of the perpetrator (it was dark), no useful CCTV recording and no forensic evidence. How, exactly, were the police supposed to proceed when there was no ID and no other leads? How many more police hours should have been given to the investigation and what, exactly, would those hours have been spent doing? How many other better-evidenced cases should have been sidelined to make time for what was likely (at that time) to be a futile effort? However, the police NOW HAVE A LEAD, which is why they have re-opened the case. They now know that Anthony Williams from Peterborough (where this attack occurred) has recently attacked strangers with a knife – this now gives them a basis for further investigation to see if he was in that area at the time of the attack and possible placed at the scene. The bottom line is the police need evidence or a strong possibility of getting evidence in order to justify committing further time to an investigation.
Too busy arresting OAPs sitting in parks with signs
