Police say while they attempted to protect the victim and secure the alleged weapon, an officer was injured in a physical altercation. The officer was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The incident led to the arrest of three people.
Two 27-year-old women, one from Peterborough and the other from Cramahe Township, were each charged with one count of assault and assaulting a peace officer. The woman from Cramahe was also additionally charged with uttering threats to damage property.
