A man was stabbed when he was walking along a road on Friday.

The 30-year-old victim was walking along Wisden Road in Stevenage when he was approached by two men.

An altercation took place between the men and victim, which resulted in the victim being stabbed in the back of his leg. It is unknown what was used to cause the injury, and the victim has since had surgery.

The first offender is described as a white man in his late 20s, of skinny build and about 5ft 8ins tall. He had blonde shaved hair and was wearing a grey hooded top and blue jeans.

The second offender is described as a white man in his late 40s and of small build. He was clean shaven and was wearing a black coat, dark coloured trousers and a black bobble hat.

The incident happened between 4.30pm and 5.05pm.

Detective Constable Richard Fox is investigating and said: “This happened around a busy time on a Friday afternoon, so it is possible there would have been other people around. If someone believes they saw the victim or offenders during, prior to or after the incident they should come forward as they may have information vital to the investigation.

“Equally, if anyone believes they know the identity of the two offenders they should contact me straight away.”

Anyone with information, call DC Fox via Hertfordshire Constabulary’s non-emergency number 101, citing crime reference E1/14/437. Alternatively call Crimestoppers, the independent charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
