Bust Up At Bookies: Punter Slashed During Winning Ticket Row

Police are hunting this suspected knifeman, who lashed out at another punter in a betting shop after trying to grab a winning ticket.

When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a small laceration to the head.
The 22-year-old victim informed officers the suspect had attempted to take a winning ticket, leading to an argument.

The suspect - who is believed to be known as 'Mo' - fled the scene with a second man.
Detectives would like to hear from anyone who recognises the man who was captured on CCTV.
