Meanwhile, one man has described how he came to the aid of Mr Dobbe after seeing the attacker with a knife.

He said: "I got another neighbour who was just coming back from work and we both went to him and shouted at the lad with a knife and he scarpered off and then we could attend to him."

Appealing for more information, Det Ch Insp Curtis said: "If you have not yet spoken to us but believe you may know something that could assist us, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, it may assist us with our inquiries.

"Those living in the area will see an increased number of officers over the coming days carrying out inquiries and providing reassurance to residents and the local community."
