Police officer chased by man with knife

A man who threatened to kill a police officer while holding a large kitchen knife has been jailed for two years.

Aaron Muxlow, 34, of no fixed address, fled from officers after being accused of abusing his ex-partner at her home in Cambridge on 11 October.

He was arrested by armed officers outside a medical centre.

At Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday, he pleaded guilty to criminal damage, possession of a knife in a public place, threats to kill and possession of cannabis.

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