Crimestoppers has announced a substantial £5,000 reward for information that could help locate a man wanted in connection with a brutal stabbing incident in Birmingham. The charity is working alongside West Midlands Police, who are investigating the case as attempted murder.
Details of the Violent Attack in Small Heath
The horrific assault occurred on Monica Road in the Small Heath area of Birmingham at approximately 6pm on Saturday, August 9th last year. According to police reports, the victim was first pushed from a quadbike before being subjected to a vicious knife attack, during which he was reportedly stabbed repeatedly in the head.
The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, is continuing to recover from the serious injuries sustained during this violent episode. West Midlands Police have emphasised the severity of the incident, which has prompted a dedicated attempted murder investigation.
Appeal to Locate Jafir Nazir
Officers are urgently seeking to speak with 29-year-old Jafir Nazir in relation to this stabbing. Detective Sergeant Ian Leech from West Midlands Police stated: “The victim of this awful attack continues to recover from his injuries. It’s important that we speak to Nazir in connection with this incident. I would appeal to anyone who has any information on where Nazir is to get in touch.”
Anonymous Reporting Through Crimestoppers
Alan Edwards, West Midlands Regional Manager at Crimestoppers, highlighted the charity's role in facilitating anonymous tip-offs. He explained: “A violent crime has left a man seriously injured and Jafir Nazir remains wanted in connection with this horrific attack. We know some people may find it hard to speak directly to the police, and that’s why Crimestoppers offers a completely anonymous alternative way to share what you know.”
The charity guarantees complete confidentiality for anyone providing information. Edwards added: “You can tell us what you know, without ever giving your name or any personal details. We’ll pass on your information so Nazir can be found and brought to justice. Crimestoppers is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They cannot trace your call or track your IP address. No one will ever know you contacted us.”
