Cops release footage of UK Sikh’s stabbing

London, July 5

A 67-year-old Sikh postmaster in the UK was stabbed in the neck and head and his turban ripped off by a robber during a violent knife attack.

Tarsem Thethy was left with stab wounds. His wife Kulwant said he is “not the same person” since the attack at the Post Office in Erdington, Birmingham.

The incident took place on March 17, but the CCTV footage was issued by the police now, showing the moment the man lunged at Thethy with a six-inch blade.

“The man came in and before I could speak, he had got in my face and stabbed me in the neck,” Thenthy was quoted as saying by metro.co.uk. “It was only a small wound, but as you can imagine it was very painful. He was shouting ‘give me the money, give me the keys’,” he said.

In the video footage, the pair can be seen grappling after the attacker ripped the turban off Thethy’s head. His wife managed to trigger the panic alarm, leading to the man rushing out. — PTI
