A MAN was stabbed in the chest on his way home from a night out as he walked through Wisbech.
The 22-year-old victim had been dropped off by friends in Weasenham Lane at about midnight on Monday, September 13, when a group of three men shouted at him.
An altercation took place, by the junction with New Drove, where the victim was punched to the ground before being stabbed in the chest.
He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital by a friend, who he called after the incident, and was treated for serious, but not life threatening, injuries.
The man was discharged the following day.
One of the attackers had a tattoo behind one ear that continued down to his neck.
DC Mark Yendley, said: “This appears to have been an unprovoked attack on a man who was simply walking home after a night out.
“One of the attackers has a very distinctive tattoo and I would urge anyone who recognises his description to call police.”
Anyone with any information should call police on 0345 456 456 4 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
