Detectives are continuing their search for a suspect wanted in connection with an attempted murder investigation five months after a man was repeatedly stabbed in the head following a violent attack on a Birmingham street.
The victim was riding his quad bike on Monica Road at approximately 6pm on Saturday 9 August 2025 when he was forcibly pushed from the vehicle. After being punched to the ground, he was stabbed multiple times in the head during the brutal assault.
West Midlands Police have identified Jafir Nazir, 29, as wanted in connection with the attack. Crimestoppers has now offered a reward of up to £5,000 for information leading directly to his arrest.
The investigation has entered its sixth month without an arrest, prompting the increased reward offer to encourage members of the public with knowledge of Nazir’s whereabouts to come forward. The charity guarantees complete anonymity for anyone providing information through their service.
Crimestoppers operates independently from police forces and does not record or share any personal details of those who contact them. This anonymity protection distinguishes the service from standard police reporting channels and forms the basis of their reward eligibility criteria.
Information must be provided directly to Crimestoppers rather than to West Midlands Police to qualify for the financial reward. Tips given to police forces do not meet the conditions for payment under the scheme’s rules.
Members of the public can contact Crimestoppers by calling their dedicated hotline on 0800 555 111, which operates around the clock. Alternatively, information can be submitted via the organisation’s website at crimestoppers-uk.org, where an online form allows anonymous reporting.
The victim’s condition following the stabbing attack has not been disclosed by authorities. The assault occurred in broad daylight during early evening hours when residential streets would typically have witnesses or residents present.
Monica Road is located in Birmingham, though the specific area of the city has not been detailed in police appeals. The use of a quad bike by the victim suggests the incident may have occurred in a neighbourhood where such vehicles are commonly used.
Nazir remains wanted by West Midlands Police, with the investigation continuing under the force’s major crime unit. The extended timeline since the August attack indicates detectives have been unable to locate the suspect despite ongoing inquiries.
The Crimestoppers reward scheme is designed to incentivise information that directly assists in apprehending wanted individuals. Payments are made at the charity’s discretion based on the value and impact of the intelligence provided.
Anyone with information about Nazir’s current location or details that could assist the investigation is urged to contact Crimestoppers immediately. The organisation emphasises that callers and online reporters will never be asked to provide identifying information and will not be required to appear in court or make statements to police.
The £5,000 reward represents one of the higher amounts offered by Crimestoppers for information, reflecting the serious nature of the attempted murder investigation and the priority placed on locating Nazir.
