Cycle thieves stab man who interrupted them

A Southampton man was stabbed when he interrupted four youths trying to steal a motor cycle.

The 45-year-old arrived at his residence on Landmark Drive on Friday at 10.45 p.m. when a neighbour told him that some young men were trying to steal a cycle from the parking lot.

He approached the group of four and one of them rode off on a dark coloured bike while the other three remained behind. One of the men then threatened the Southampton man before punching him in the face and stabbing him in his left arm before running off with the other two culprits.

They were described as four dark-skinned men, believed to be in their 20s, with the main suspect being described as approximately 5 foot 9 inches tall weighing between 150 and 160 pounds, wearing a black, short-sleeved T-shirt and a black, open-face helmet. Police spoke to the victim while he was being treated at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

A spokesman for the Police said: “The Bermuda Police Service would advise, where possible, for individuals who observe suspicious people or activity in their neighbourhood to contact Police at 295-0011 or in an emergency situation to call 911.”

Police are also appealing for anyone with information to contact the Somerset Criminal Investigation Unit on 234-1010.
