Adam Yusif Bhamji, 37, is wanted on recall to prison in connection with an assault in Bamber Bridge

A 16-year-old boy and his father were attacked on a car park in between Ellen Street and St Mary's Road at around 12.30am on Saturday, May 23.

Bhamji, from Bamber Bridge, was sentenced to ten years in jail in December 2015 for aggravated burglary and assault. He was released on April 27 on licence.

He is now wanted on suspicion of breaching the terms of his licence following the assault.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: "He has not listened to pleas from his probation worker to hand himself in, so we are appealing directly to Bhamji to do the right thing and contact us.

"We would also urge anyone who sees him, or has any information about his whereabouts, to please let us know."

Bhamji, who also uses the last name Birch, is described as around 5ft 8in tall, of medium build, with short dark hair.

He has multiple tribal tattoos on his arms, back and neck.

Police are urging anyone who sees Bhamji not to approach him but to contact police immediately on 999.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts can contact police by calling 101 or emailing [email protected], quoting log number 0021 of May 23.
