Last updated 7th Feb 2025
Detectives investigating a serious stabbing in Northampton are appealing for people to come forward with smart doorbell and dash-cam footage.
The assault happened in Monarch Street between 6.30pm and 6.45pm on Wednesday, February 5th, with a 29-year-old man sustaining a single stab wound.
A 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remains in police custody, on Friday February 7th, and officers are making a further appeal to anyone who may have information to get in touch.
Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Liz Basham said:
“Our team is making good progress, but we need help from any witnesses who have yet to come forward to help us build the clearest picture of what happened on Wednesday evening.
“We have identified a grey/silver Volkswagen Golf as being in the area around the time of the assault and are asking anyone who was driving in the Kings Heath area that night to check their dash-cam as they may have captured something which can assist our investigation.
“We also want to hear from anyone with a smart doorbell who may have relevant footage.
“Coming forward to speak to the police can feel hard, so if you have concerns about speaking to us, I would urge you to share what you know via independent charity Crimestoppers, which is 100 per cent anonymous.
“We continue to conduct additional reassurance patrols in the Kings Heath area, so please speak to one of our officers if you have any worries we can help with.”
A 22-year-old Northampton woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail, pending further enquiries.
