Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a 47 year old man was left in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed several times during an aggravated burglary in Luton in the early hours of yesterday morning (November 16).
The incident happened at 3.25am when three offenders managed to force their way into a house in Wellfield Avenue, Luton, while the occupants were sleeping. The victim was awoken by a noise and went to investigate.
When Tony Abrahams confronted the offenders he was attacked and stabbed. The offenders then fled the house on foot.
The victim’s wife and daughter raised the alarm and Mr Abrahams was immediately taken to the Luton and Dunstable Hospital where he remains in a serious, but stable condition.
Detective Constable Mo Hussain, who is investigating the incident, is keen to hear from any witnesses who may have been in the area at the time or may have seen the three offenders either before or after the attack.
The first offender was a black male with light skin, around 20 years of age, five feet one inch tall. The second offender was also a black male, five feet ten inches tall. The third offender was a black male, around 20 years old.
