The police are appealing for information that could help trace a man who failed to appear at court after being charged in connection with a series of random attacks on members of the public in Leeds city centre. Hardeep Garcha, a 32-year-old resident of Bradford, has been wanted since his failure to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court on July 10 of this year.
Garcha was charged with Section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent, Section 47 actual bodily harm, and a racially aggravated public order offence. These charges stem from incidents that occurred on November 11 last year in Heaton’s Court and Leeds train station. One victim suffered a broken jaw, while another sustained severe bruising.
Despite extensive enquiries by the police, Garcha has yet to be located. Investigators have discovered that he has connections to Bradford and recent information suggests that he may have been residing in Sheffield.
The authorities are urging anyone who has seen Hardeep Garcha or possesses any information that could aid in locating him to come forward. It is crucial that the public assists the police in their efforts to bring this individual to justice and ensure the safety of the community.
If you have any information regarding Garcha’s whereabouts, please contact the police immediately. You can provide information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111 or contact 101.
