Watch bodycam footage as knife-wielding man threatens police officer in Cambridge - and see his arrest by armed officers

A knife-wielding man who threatened to kill a police officer who was pursuing him through Cambridge has been jailed for two years.

Bodycam footage has been released of the incident involving Aaron Muxlow, 34, including his eventual arrested by armed officers.

Officers had been called to an incident in which Muxlow abused his ex-partner at her home in Campkin Road, King’s Hedges, at about 9am on Friday, 11 October.

Muxlow was being aggressive and had pulled a video doorbell off a wall.

When police found him in Nunn’s Way, he pulled a large kitchen knife from his waistband and threatened one of the officers.

He ran off and warned that he would “kill” the officer who was following from a distance while waiting for firearms officers to arrive.

Muxlow was arrested by armed officers outside a medical centre in Pippin Drive at about 2.30pm the same day.

Muxlow, of no fixed address, was jailed for two years on Thursday (28 November) at Cambridge Crown Court, after pleading guilty to criminal damage, possession of a knife in a public place, threats to kill and possession of cannabis.

PC Baugh said: "Muxlow is a violent individual who shamefully threatened my colleague with a knife. This highlights the dangers officers can face daily.

"Cambridgeshire police will continue working with partner agencies and local communities to remove knives and drugs from the streets. We encourage people to report any concerns they have about anyone carrying weapons and drugs in their communities.”

Anyone with information or concerns about someone who carries a weapon can make a report to police online. Drug-dealing can also be reported online.
