In a disturbing incident in Stockton, three boys have been arrested following an alleged hate crime that resulted in the stabbing of a transgender woman. The attack took place on Norton Road, with armed police responding to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3.

 

Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim, a woman in her 20s, suffering from a severe wound to her leg. She was promptly taken to the hospital, where she underwent surgery due to the extent of her injuries. The boys, aged 16, 14, and 12, were detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and taken into police custody for questioning.

 

The Cleveland Police are treating the incident as a hate crime and are providing support to the victim and her family through specialist officers. Assistant Chief Constable Richard Baker of Cleveland Police emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, "Nobody should ever have to fear being targeted for simply being who they are. Physical violence against a person, or slurs made regarding a person’s gender identity, race, disability or any other difference, is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in our communities."

 

He further highlighted the serious nature of hate crimes, acknowledging the traumatic and long-lasting effects they can have on victims. "Cleveland Police takes all reports of hate crime and hate crime incidents extremely seriously," Baker added. He urged victims and those concerned about potential hate crimes to report them, assuring that the police have dedicated officers to support victims through investigations and strive to bring offenders to justice.

 

The police are actively investigating the case and are appealing to the public for any information that could aid their investigation. They have specifically requested that anyone with CCTV, dash cam, or doorbell footage related to the incident contact them by calling 101 and quoting reference number 124844. 

 

The swift response by the police and the arrests of the suspects underscore the commitment to addressing hate crimes and ensuring the safety of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or any other characteristic that may make them a target for such attacks.

What woman was stabbed? I thought the headlines said a transgender?

Fair enough, charge them all with attempted murder and not some farcical GBH charge that these irks always get away with and give them 15 years each,

 

UK justice and prosecution of these people is a joke

A little over the top, if they had wanted to murder him he would be dead as it was he was stabbed in the leg so GBH + classed as a hate crime should bring a sufficiently long custodial sentence.

Ask how much the hospital charged for the operation.

This is a result of "giving rights" to those men who claim that they are female and rape women.

I thought hate crime had to involve some color differences in victim/attacker

They could have gone for the 'lady's' balls but they kept it friendly.
