"Heinous" robbers who repeatedly stabbed a shopkeeper and pulled off his turban have yet to be identified several months on from the horrific attack.

The pair of hooded thugs approached the victim, who was working alone in an off licence, before shouting at him to "open the till".

Terrifying CCTV footage shows the pair entering the shop in High Street, Whitton , just after 10pm on Saturday December 23 last year.

One suspect walked straight behind the counter and shouted "open the till" before repeatedly stabbing the victim as he tried to fight him off.

The second suspect remained in front of the counter and pulled off the victim’s turban during the struggle, before the injured shopkeeper fell to the floor.

Both suspects ran off empty-handed in the direction of Percy Road.

The first suspect was described as a black male, about 5ft 11in tall, wearing a dark hooded coat, jeans, black trainers and blue and grey gloves.

His accomplice was described as a white male, about 5ft 11in tall, wearing a dark blue all-weather jacket, a grey tracksuit, black trainers and orange gloves.
