'Carrying a knife is never necessary': Teen jailed after threatening woman at Peterborough bus station with knife

A teenager, who threatened a woman he had never met before with a knife at a bus station in Peterborough, has been jailed.

Unprovoked, Jedidiah Clay, 19, and a friend began shouting “paedo” at the woman at Queensgate Bus Station on 10 September last year and became aggressive when challenged.

Clay began shouting “you, you”, while pulling up his top to reveal a knife handle in his waistband.

The victim got on a bus before calling the police and Clay was arrested, despite trying to run away.

While on bail, Clay threatened a group of men with a samurai sword at the YMCA hostel, in Gonville Place, Cambridge, on 9 January.

Clay chased the men, swinging the sword at them, before putting it back in his waistband and leaving.
