Third attempt to fix site of man's stabbing
Wednesday, 17th July 2013.
Police investigating an assault in Haverhill are appealing for information in relation to an incident that occurred in Harrow Road.
At around 10.55pm last night police were made aware of a man who had presented himself at Addenbrooke’s Hospital with stab wounds.
The incident is believed to have occurred between 9.30pm and 10pm and was originally thought to have happened in the vicinity of a toilet block within the Recreation Ground, near to Camps Road.
However, following enquiries this morning police believe it may be linked to a report of an altercation in a car park in Harrow Road.
Officers would like to hear from anyone who witnessed an altercation or has any details in relation to an incident in Harrow Road during these times.
Police say they are keeping three scenes in place today, at the Recreation Ground, Montfort Court and Harrow Road.
The victim remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition though his injuries are no longer thought to be life-threatening.
He has since been revealed to be Haverhill man Kevin Forrester, 34, who was jailed for 18 weeks last February for his part in the burglary of £8,000 of music and computing equipment from an address in Haverhill in January.
He used a taxi to get the items back to the home of his then accomplice and police arrested the pair at that address after the taxi-driver reported his suspicions.
If anyone has information they think may assist police in their investigation they are asked to get in contact immediately on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
