A woman called 999 last Saturday at just before midnight…she said very little but a man’s voice could be heard in the background
She asked for police, but the line dropped out before she was put through to us.
We tried to call her back but these attempts failed and worried for her safety, we visited her home in Wisbech – where a woman with an injury to her eye opened the door
We arrested one man on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and has been released on conditional bail while investigations continue.
Did you know that pressing 55 after calling 999 alerts police operators that you need help but are in a situation where you can’t talk?
Pressing 55 lets the 999 operator know your call is genuine, and they will try to track your location.
If you can’t speak, listen carefully to the questions and instructions from our demand hub call agents so they can assess your call and arrange help.
