Serious Assault and Dramatic Car Chase Shake St Leonards
Police launch urgent appeal after a brutal stabbing on Hollington Old Lane, St Leonards. The victim was attacked by a group, one wielding a blade, leaving him with a serious hand injury. He managed to escape and seek help on Blackman Avenue before being rushed to hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition.
High-Speed Chase Ends with Shattered Windscreen
Minutes later, chaos continued when another man was chased along Blackman Avenue by suspects in a silver or grey car. The victim escaped in his vehicle but was pursued onto the A21 Sedlescombe Road North. Shockingly, the suspect’s vehicle fired metal ball bearings at the victim’s car, smashing the rear windscreen.
Police Seek Witnesses as Investigations Ongoing
Officers are probing both attacks to uncover any links but say the public is not at risk. They urge anyone who saw the incidents or suspicious behaviour to come forward. CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage could be vital.
