Suspect arrested and bailed
The Station House in Padgate, Warrington, where a knifeman terrorised customers.
Pub customers and staff were threatened by a knifeman. Now police have issued an appeal for witnesses to the bizarre incident.
At around 8pm on Friday, May 23, a man entered the Station House pub in Station Road, Padgate, in Warrington, and threatened the customers with a knife before leaving on a bike.
No one was harmed in the incident.
As he fled the scene he was seen by two witnesses to throw the knife into a bush.
PC Katherine Molyneux said: “I’d urge the two men who saw the suspect throw the knife into a bush to contact us to help us with our enquiries.
“The same goes for anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to police.”
Cheshire Constabulary said: “As part of our enquiries a 35-year-old man has been arrested and has since been released on conditional bail.”
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website (www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us) quoting 25000426706. Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
