Teen Stabbed After Chasing Bike Thieves in Milton Keynes
A shocking attack erupted around 3pm on Friday 15 January in Suffolk Close. A 17-year-old boy spotted two men stealing his bike. Before he could react, a 40-year-old man on a bike gave chase.
He caught up with the thieves near Middlesex Drive and confronted them. Instead of backing down, one thug threw a punch — then stabbed him in the stomach.
The pair fled towards Cornwall Grove, abandoning the stolen bike behind.
Victim Injured but Released from Hospital
The stabbing left the man with a nasty stomach wound. He received urgent treatment at Milton Keynes University Hospital and has now been discharged.

Officers have released an e-fit of the culprits. The first is a mixed-race male, around 18 or 19 years old. He stands tall—between 6ft 2in and 6ft 3in—with an athletic build. He wore a puffer jacket and trainers.
The second suspect is about 5ft 9in tall, donning a dark jacket with the hood up, dark trousers, a black backpack, and a dark mask.
