"Ihtisham Khan stabbed his victim eleven times"
A 21-year-old man was convicted after he stabbed his victim 11 times in a “sustained and frenzied attack” in a row over “overpriced” car parts.
Ihtisham Khan carried out the attack in Alum Rock, Birmingham, on the evening of June 8, 2023.
The victim had purchased car parts from Khan but believed he had been overcharged.
He then went to Khan’s home in Ellesmere Road to confront him. But while he waited in his friend’s car, Khan approached the vehicle and stabbed him multiple times.
The victim was left in a life-threatening condition and was taken to Heartlands Hospital.
CCTV footage identified Khan and when police spoke to the victim, he explained what had happened.
At Birmingham Crown Court, Khan was convicted of section 18 wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article.
In a statement, police said: “A man from Birmingham has been convicted of carrying out a sustained and frenzied attack on another man while he was sitting in a vehicle following a dispute over car parts.
“Ihtisham Khan stabbed his victim eleven times leaving him in a life-threatening condition in hospital.
“Khan, 21, was found guilty last Thurs (Dec 14) of a Section 18 wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
“The attack took place shortly before 8 pm on June 8 this year, on Ellesmere Road, Alum Rock.
“An off-duty police officer witnessed part of the attack and called emergency services.
“The victim’s friend drove him to Heartlands Hospital where he received treatment for his stab wounds.
“We identified Khan as the suspect for the attack and arrested him quickly.
“Officers worked hard on the case and gathered CCTV evidence which showed Khan carry out the senseless attack on his victim.
“When officers later spoke to the victim he revealed how he had bought car parts from Khan and believed he had been overcharged so went to confront him at his home in Ellesmere Road.
“But while he was waiting in his friend’s car Khan came to the vehicle and stabbed him multiple times.”
Lead investigator Andrew Snowdon, of Major Crime Reactive Team 5, added:
“This was a sustained and frenzied attack by Khan after a minor dispute. The victim was defenceless and it must have been a frightening ordeal.
“Knife crime has no place on any street in the West Midlands and I am glad that the jury has found him guilty unanimously of a very serious assault and possession of a knife.”
Ihtisham Khan will be sentenced on February 26, 2024.
