A further three people have been arrested following disorder at a football match between Peterborough and Cambridge United last month (October). 

The latest arrest was made on November 17 where a 17-year-old boy was arrested in Bar Hill on suspicion of discharging a firework on a public highway and assaulting three emergency service workers. 

He has been released on bail to return to Parkside Police Station in Cambridge on February 17. 

Karl Hart, 46, of New Lakeside, Hampton Vale, Peterborough, was arrested in Peterborough on November 16. 

He has since been charged with a section 4 public order offence – namely using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence and has been bailed to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on December 16. 

Trevor Johnson, 45, of Parson Drove, Wisbech, was arrested for a second time on November 11 and has also been charged with the same public order offence. 

He was also arrested outside Asda in Rivergate after the game on October 29 and charged with being drunk and disorderly in a public place.  

He is due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on November 30. 

These latest arrests bring the total so far to seven. 

Two people were arrested outside the Weston Homes Stadium in London Road before the match, which began at 3pm on October 29. 

A 36-year-old man from Bretton, Peterborough, was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence, namely shouting at rival fans and encouraging a fight, as well as assaulting an emergency worker, but was later released without charge. 

A 20-year-old man from Bottisham, Cambridge, was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence, namely being in possession of a flare and setting off a flare into a crowd. 

He has been released on bail to return to Thorpe Wood Station in Peterborough on January 29 next year. 

A 17-year-old boy from South Cambridgeshire was arrested in Cambridge on November 1 in connection with criminal damage at the Weston Homes Stadium worth up to about £20,000. 

He was released on bail to return to Parkside Police Station in Cambridge on February 1 next year. 

Detective Sergeant Shish Thind, who is leading the investigation, said: “The majority of Cambridge United and Peterborough United supporters behaved responsibly at the match, however there were a small number of fans who chose to behave in a wholly unacceptable way, and this behaviour has been condemned by both clubs. 

“The force, with the support of both clubs, has launched a post-match investigation and is taking action against anyone identified as committing criminal offences, and will work with clubs to secure banning orders where appropriate.”
