Man stabbed as police look for two people with machete
The victim’s bike and phone were stolen in the incident
Two people seen brandishing a machete are being sought by police after a stabbing in Hucknall.
The victim was heading along Farleys Lane, towards the cut through to the A611 Hucknall bypass, when he was approached.
As he was about to head down an alleyway, the man was pushed off an e-bike he was riding and threatened by two people.
A struggle then took place, in which the victim – a man in his 30s – suffered slash wounds to his leg and hand.
Neither injury is currently believed to be life-threatening or life-altering, Nottinghamshire Police said in a statement.
The man’s electric bike and mobile phone were taken during the incident at about 12.50am on Saturday, July 13.
Police have since recovered the stolen bike, although inquiries are still ongoing to track down the people involved.
Detective Sergeant Nathan Bingham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “It’s important anyone who saw what happened, or was in the area at the time gets in contact with us.
“This must’ve been an incredibly scary ordeal for the victim, who was injured as a result and had a number of his belongings taken.
“We have since managed to recover the stolen e-bike, but are still in the process of trying to track down the people responsible.
“If anyone has any piece of information that could assist our investigation, however small or insignificant it might seem, they should call the police immediately.
“Likewise, we also want to hear from anyone who has any CCTV footage, or dash-cam footage that could potentially assist us.
“Anyone with any information can report it to the police on 101, quoting incident 31 of 13 July 2024, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
