A STABBING suspect is wanted over his alleged involvement in an attack on a teenage boy.

The 17-year-old was stabbed in the legs several times at a property in Marline Road, St Leonards.

It happened in the late afternoon of March 22.

Now police are appealing to track down 29-year-old James Maloney for interview in connection with the knife attack.

He is a slim, white man, 6ft tall, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Officers believe he is known in the Hastings and St Leonards areas.

Meanwhile a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and drugs offences, and remains on bail until June 21.

Anyone who sees Maloney is asked not to approach him but to call 999 and quote serial 1125 of 22/03.
