Officers at Wiltshire Police are appealing for a potential key witness to come forward after a man was stabbed in Mannington Recreation Ground on Sunday 6 August 2017.

This re-appeal comes after the original appeal for witnesses on 8 August 2017.

The victim was taken to Southmead Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
He has now been released from hospital and is recovering well.

Det Con Alan Mills said:  “We have information about a potential key witness who was in the park at 9.30pm – just before the victim was assaulted.
“This person was on a bike cycling towards the entrance/exit to Morris Street.
“My message to that person is: we would like to speak to you as soon as possible – please come forward.”
“We would also like to re-appeal to anyone who was on Paddington Drive and Morris Street around that time on that day to come forward.”

If you can help with our enquiries in any way please contact Swindon CID on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
