Update from the Independent Office for Police Conduct

An IOPC spokesperson said: “In the early hours of this morning (30 November) we were contacted by Lincolnshire Police regarding an incident in Friskney in which two ten-year-old boys sustained stab wounds and a woman was tasered and arrested by police.

“The boys have been taken to hospital but their injuries are not believed to be life threatening. We sent investigators to the police post incident procedures, where the officers involved will give their initial accounts.

“We are currently assessing the incident to determine if any action will be required from us.”

We attended a property in Fold Hill, Friskney, following a call at 1.49pm on Tuesday, 29 November reporting a concern for safety.

Our officers attended and spoke to the occupant. From around 4.30pm yesterday specially-trained officers negotiated with a woman inside the property, and this continued for several hours. Firearms officers were also present at the scene.

Officers forced entry into the property shortly after 1am this morning (30 November).

Two boys, both aged 10 years old, sustained stab wounds in the incident. Both were taken to hospital, but neither is believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries.

A 39-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. She remains in police custody.

Following this incident, a mandatory referral was made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

The road was closed for several hours while our officers were at the scene but it has now reopened.

There was no wider threat to residents during the incident.
