Woman Attacked with A knife Inside Hartlepool Property
Police are appealing for information after a woman aged 35 was assaulted by a male with a knife inside a property on Owton Manor in Hartlepool.
The incident occurred last night (Tuesday 17th October) at 6:40pm and it is believed two males are responsible.
The first male attended the property and threw a brick at
one of the occupants at the address and then left in the direction of Macrae Road and potentially drove off in a silver or dark coloured older style of a Ford Focus. It is believed this male drove off in the direction of Owton Manor towards Wynyard Road.
He was described as wearing an orange high visibility vest under a black jacket.
A second male approached the address shortly after the first
male (from the direction of Patrick shops near to St Patricks Church) and he entered the property and attacked the victim with a knife. He was described as riding a mountain bike and was wearing a hat, dark coloured puffer coat and black tracksuit bottoms.
It is believed he also made off in the direction of Macrae Road. The victim suffered a laceration to her face which required hospital treatment. The males are not believed to be known to the victim.
Anyone who witnesses the incident or has any dash cam/ CCTV footage in the streets mentioned above between 6pm and 7pm is asked to contact Cleveland Police on 101 quoting 207248.
