Police continuing to investigate the attempted murder of two people in Bangor on Wednesday, 24th December, are releasing a further image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.

The man, named today as 54-year-old Jonathan Baker, is pictured in the Coniston Road area at around 3.55pm on Christmas Eve.

Superintendent Lindsay Fisher said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare and today I am appealing directly to Jonathan to make contact with police. We have conducted a number of searches at different properties and areas as we actively seek to locate him.

“Officers also remain in attendance at Chippendale Avenue, the scene of the stabbing. A man aged in his 20s and a woman aged in her 50s both received serious injuries and have been discharged following treatment.”

Superintendent Fisher continued: “We now believe that Jonathan was wearing a navy blue jacket with the brand name ‘Helly Hansen’ written on the back in white. He is described as being approximately 5ft 10 ins in height, with short, dark hair and wearing blue jeans, and dark trainers with white soles.

“Although we do not believe there is a serious risk to the wider community, we would continue to remind members of the public not to approach Jonathan if they see him, but to create a safe distance and contact police immediately on 101, or 999 in an emergency. The reference number to quote is 914 of 24/12/25.

“You can also submit a report or information online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org/.
