The 43-year-old victim was taking a late-night walk and was on the footpath adjacent to the Thorpe Road roundabout at about 11.30pm when he was approached by a ‘man in dark clothing’.

He thought he had been punched in the stomach but soon noticed he had been stabbed, before the offender made off in a car towards Netherton in the direction of Thorpe Hall Hospice.
