Detectives are on the hunt for a suspect linked to a brutal attempted murder after a man was repeatedly stabbed in the head during a terrifying attack on a Birmingham street five months ago.
Brutal Attack on Monica Road
The victim was riding his quad bike on Monica Road around 6pm on Saturday, 9 August 2025, when he was violently forced off. Witnesses say he was punched to the ground before being stabbed multiple times in the head in a savage assault.
Police Pursue Jafir Nazir, 29
West Midlands Police have named 29-year-old Jafir Nazir as the prime suspect. Despite months of investigation, he remains at large. To crack the case, Crimestoppers has sweetened the deal with a £5,000 reward for any tip leading to Nazir’s arrest.
“Anyone with information is urged to contact Crimestoppers immediately. Callers are guaranteed anonymity and will not be required to appear in court,” said a Crimestoppers spokesperson.

Still No Word on Victim’s Condition

The incident took place in a part of Birmingham where quad bikes are commonly used, suggesting a close-knit community could hold vital clues.
