The 36-year-old man was attacked in one of two separate incidents, believed to have been committed by the same group of offenders, in the Fulbridge Recreation Ground off Fulbridge Road between 7pm and 7.10pm on Wednesday, 24 February.

The first victim was a 36-year-old man who was walking through the grounds at about 7pm when he was approached by a group of seven or eight people, believed to be teenage boys.

He was attacked but managed to flee to his home address nearby where he realised he had been stabbed multiple times, including a puncture to one of his lungs.

The second victim was an 18-year-old man who was jogging through the park at about 7.10pm when a group of about eight teenage boys tried to call him over to them. He carried on running but the group approached him and he was stabbed by one of the group multiple times.

Police have now released an image of a green jumper it is believed one of the attackers was wearing.

DI Shish Thind said: “We believe one of the group was wearing a grey tracksuit, another in a black tracksuit and one was wearing a khaki green Hugo Boss jumper, similar to the one in the image.
