Muxlow was eventually arrested by armed officers outside a medical centre in Pippin Drive at about 2.30pm the same day.
On Thursday (28 November), at Cambridge Crown Court, Muxlow, of no fixed address, was jailed for two years, having pleaded guilty to criminal damage, possession of a knife in a public place, threats to kill and possession of cannabis.

"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 report to police online.
Drug dealing can also be reported through the force website.
