Police were alerted to the pool of blood seen in Hospital Road, Doddington just before 4pm last Thursday (May 28).

Officers then contacted both Peterborough City Hospital and Hinchingbrooke Hospital about the incident, which they were unaware of.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “Officers attended the scene where they discovered a pool of blood. An area search was carried out and enquiries were made with the nearest hospitals, both without success.

“Enquiries were made with the hospitals whether anyone had come in who had been seriously injured or injured with a large amount of blood loss. The hospital advised us no-one had come in or been admitted which matched that.”
