Police are appealing to trace the victim of an assault in Leeds that is believed to be linked to an incident where a man and woman were stabbed.
Four males, aged 15 to 18, and a 15-year-old girl have been charged and appeared in court in connection with the incident in Mabgate shortly after midnight on Sunday 31 March, in which a 52-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were stabbed and seriously injured.
Detectives now want to trace a man who was seen being hit in nearby Regent Street a short time before.
Another man reported seeing the unidentified victim being punched in the face near to the A64 flyover sometime after 11.40pm.
The victim, who ran off under the flyover, was described as being white, aged about 23 years and of big build. He was wearing black trousers and a black long-sleeved top.
The witness, who was also approached and punched in the face as he stood nearby, spoke to the other victim near to the flyover shortly afterwards.
Detective Inspector Phil Jackson, of Leeds District CID, said: “We are keen to trace the man who was seen being punched to speak to him about the circumstances of the assault and because he may have information that could assist the wider investigation.
“We would also like to speak to anyone who was in the area and witnessed any part of these incidents.”
