THIS IS the man being hunted after an ambulance worker was slashed with a sharp object.

Hampshire Constabulary have today released this e-fit following the assault of an ambulance technician in Dibden Purlieu.

As reported by the Daily Echo, between 7.40pm and 7.50pm on Monday, February 29 the victim was in an alleyway between Challenger Place and Cosworth Drive, off of Challenger Way.

He was approached by two men who shouted verbal abuse at him before being assaulted.

During the attack he was cut with a sharp object receiving minor injuries to his face and arm. The pair then ran off towards Cosworth Drive and police have launched a manhunt to find them.

One of the men is described as white, aged 22 to 24, 5ft 10ins, with brown hair, of ‘scrawny’ build, wearing a white top with a blue stripe horizontally across the front, blue jeans and white Adidas trainers.

The second man is described as white, aged 22 to 24 or slightly younger, 6ft 1ins, of scrawny build and wearing a black hoody with an oriental motif on the front.

A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman previously said:"SCAS and the private provider organisation are providing support to the victim and assisting Hampshire Constabulary to ensure that the persons responsible are prosecuted."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Lyndhurst police station by calling 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.
