A PENSIONER was stabbed during a seemingly random attack in Dudley town centre.
The 75-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder on King Street, near the junction with Union Street, at around 10.45am on Monday (November 13).
Police say the culprit was a black man wearing dark clothing, who then ran off.
A black car stopped and someone – possibly a witness - got out to speak to the man, but then drove off.
The elderly victim then summoned help and was taken to hospital, where he remains with non-life threatening injuries.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "The area would have been busy at that time of day and we are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened and can help our investigation."
Anyone with information should call DC Patrick Lewis on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
