Woman stabbed while waiting in traffic at level crossing

The woman was in traffic on Winsover Road in Spalding at about 4.10pm on Saturday when the incident happened.

The victim was in a white Mazda near the level crossing at the junction with Thomas Street and had her arm out of the window. There was one car in front of her vehicle and when the barrier began to lift a group of four teenage boys cycled past with one stabbing her in the arm. It is suspected this was caused by something similar to a screwdriver due to the puncture nature of the wound.

The group are described as white, dressed in dark clothing and wearing baseball caps. They left the scene by heading down Thomas Street and the victim has attended hospital.

Police are now appealing for witnesses, or anyone with dashcam footage that could help the investigation.
