Meat cleaver
Kent Police was called to a location at the junction of Perry Street and Wycliffe Row, Gravesend following a disturbance at around 10.40pm on 8 July 2022. It is alleged a man was using threatening behaviour and waving around a weapon, described as resembling a meat cleaver.
In the early hours of the following morning, a 53-year-old man from Gravesend was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. He was taken into custody and later released, pending further enquiries.
