Man held at gunpoint and then stabbed in 'frightening' robbery by gang of bandanna clad men in Peterborough

At about 2.10am on Monday November 12 the victim was walking along Elm Street in Fletton when he was approached by a man holding a gun.

The victim was forced to walk to his flat before he was joined by a second man who was armed with a knife.

Once inside his flat, the victim was then joined by a third man.

The three men demanded money from the victim and another resident of the flat. They searched the flat and stole several items, before stabbing the victim in the arm.
