Dorset Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a man following a targeted stabbing on Harewood Avenue in Bournemouth, Dorset, on February 21, 2026.
Two local men were hospitalised with serious injuries after the attack, which triggered a large police response. While officers have already arrested one person in connection with the incident, they are still trying to identify a second man who was captured on security cameras.
Investigators from the BCP CID believe the assault was a targeted incident and say there is no wider risk to the local community. The investigation is being supported by specialized units, including the Dorset Police High Harm Unit, which is focused on reducing violent crime in the area.
Police are urging residents and business owners near Harewood Avenue in the BH7 area to check their doorbell cameras, shop security footage, and car dashcams. They are looking for any recordings from the night of the incident on February 21, 2026, that might help the case.
Anyone who recognises the man in the images or has information about the stabbing should contact the police. Information can be shared directly with the authorities to assist with their ongoing enquiries into the matter.
