Police Release CCTV In Stafford Attempted Murder Investigation

Staffordshire Police have released CCTV of a man they believe may be the suspect in an attempted murder investigation in Stafford.

The footage was captured in the Castlefields area at around 7pm on Thursday 14 May, shortly after the attack.

Police say the man’s behaviour at the time is significant because he was seen running away from the scene.

This update relates to the earlier incident where a man in his 60s was seriously injured on a public footpath through Stafford Castle golf course.

Police have confirmed the victim remains in a stable but critical condition.

Officers are asking anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV, or who saw anything suspicious in the area that evening, to get in touch.

They are also asking people to think carefully about anyone they know who may have returned home with unexplained injuries, or whose behaviour has been out of character since the evening of Thursday 14 May.

Staffordshire Police say they understand the incident is concerning for the local community and that they are doing everything possible to identify and locate the person responsible.

Specialist officers are continuing to carry out enquiries, including forensic examination, CCTV checks and detailed searches.

An increased police presence remains in the area while the investigation continues.
