Police are appealing for the public's help to track down a Birmingham man, who's been convicted of attempted murder.
42-year-old Sharaz Ali was found guilty of attempting to killing his wife after stabbing her on 10 September 2021.
During the trial in August last year he failed to appear and a bench warrant was issued by Birmingham Crown Court.
Ali, who had been living in Stechford, was tried and convicted in his absence.
Officers have been working to trace his whereabouts and understand he had been known to stay in Croydon in London, but it's believed someone in Birmingham may know where he is.
Inspector Scott Shaw from the Public Protection Unit, said:
"We've been working with other forces and investigating Ali's previous movements to try and establish where he is now.
"It is vital that our justice system is allowed to fully play out and that he serves the sentence that was issued by the court or is brought back before the court to be sentenced."
Police are asking that you've seen him, or know where he is, please do not approach him, but call 999 immediately, quoting investigation number 20/1410584/21.
