Detectives re-appeal for witnesses after man suffers potentially life-changing injuries during Berkhamsted assault

Detectives are re-appealing for witnesses after a man was treated in hospital for injuries which are potentially life changing following an attack in Berkhamsted last week.

At around 6.10pm on Tuesday, December 7, a man in Curtis Way was approached by two other males who had exited a white Peugeot 3008 SUV and were described as being dressed

all in black with their faces covered.

Following an altercation, the man’s hands were injured by a knife. He was treated in hospital for injuries which are potentially life changing.

Two youths, aged 16 and 17 and both from Watford, have been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. They have been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
