Leicester has been the scene of an attack of a 10-year-old boy who was targeted by what has been described as a ‘chubby Asian man’ who slashed his neck. The suspect then fled the scene, Belper Street, Leicester, just after 5pm on Saturday. The suspect has been linked to other attacks and several local groups are understandably incredibly concerned about safety in the city going forward.
The boy was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre and is now in a stable condition. Leicester police have now connected that incident to a further stabbing on January 14 when a woman suffered a cut to the back of her head. The woman was with her two children at around 7.15pm that day when she felt something to the back of her head. She turned around and reported seeing a person with a knife who had attempted to stab her through her skull before fleeing. The lady was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.
Further to this on Thursday, January 16, a man in his 70s was in Dean Road when he was found with wounds to his head and hands. Police have been examining local CCTV footage and making house-to-house enquiries as part of their investigations. They have also released an image of a man they would like to identify in connection with the case. Detective Inspector Tim Lindley of Leicester police said: “These are serious incidents and we have a team of dedicated officers and staff carrying out full enquiries to establish the full circumstances. In light of these incidents, I would ask that people do remain aware and vigilant, and report anything which causes them concern to the police. If you do recognise the man pictured, please do not approach him but please contact 999 immediately”.
UNN adds to the police request, urging witnesses to any of the incidents or anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage from the area to contact them by calling 101 and quoting incident 145 of January 19.
