MAN STABBED AND WOMAN PUNCHED IN SOUTH BELFAST ROBBERY BID

DETECTIVES in south Belfast are appealing for information after a report of an attempted robbery and stabbing incident off the Ormeau Road area in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday 31st October).

Detective Sergeant McPhillips said: “Shortly before 130am, it was reported that a man and a woman were walking in Haypark Avenue when they were approached by two men wearing dark clothing and asked for money and cigarettes.

“When told they did not have any, the male received stab wounds both to his upper leg and head and the female was punched in the face.

“The male and female were both taken to hospital and treated for their injuries.

“Both offenders made off from the scene emptied handed, but it is unclear in what direction they made off towards.

“Enquiries are continuing.

“We would appeal to anyone with any information or who saw anything suspicious in the area to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference number 55 31/10/18.

“Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
