Schoolgirl, 15, stabbed by masked thug in 'unprovoked attack' as cops launch hunt for knifeman
A SCHOOLGIRL was stabbed by a masked man while walking home in the evening.
The victim, 15, suffered injuries to her wrist and head when the thug attacked her.
She made her way home but required surgery to a tendon in her wrist after last Tuesday’s attack in Birmingham.
A head injury was superficial but she was left feeling very distressed, police said.
DCI Dave Sproson said: “This attack appears to have been totally unprovoked and has had a devastating effect on the young girl.”
“We have spoken to her to get a description of her attacker and we have been trawling CCTV of the area to see if we have an image that could help our investigation.
“We understand that attacks like this can be alarming to residents in the area, but we have had no further reports of similar behaviour and we have increased our patrols in an effort to reassure the public.”
“If you have seen any suspicious behaviour within this area then I would encourage you to make contact with the police and report such incidents.”
The man is described as white, large build, wearing dark clothing, a dark blue face mask, dark beanie hat and a dark top with the hood up.
