'Very violent' muscular fugitive wanted over multiple attacks

A 'very violent' fugitive accused of leaving three people injured in a series of assaults is being hunted by detectives.

The public are being urged not to approach Adam Bhamji, 38, who was on licence at the time of the incidents after being jailed for an aggravated burglary in 2015.

Bhamji, who is also known as 'Adam Birch' or 'Birchy', is wanted after a man was battered by two men in Burscough on May 30 this year, leaving the victim with a broken nose, eye socket, ankle and rib.

Detectives also want to question him over an alleged GBH in May 2020, in which two men were attacked leaving one with "serious injuries".

Lancashire Police said Bhamji, of Morley Croft, Farington Moss, is 5ft 9in tall, of large, muscular build, with short, black hair, brown eyes and tribal tattoos.

He has links to Bamber Bridge, Chorley, Freckleton and Preston.

A spokesman said: "Police are advising people not to approach him as he can be very violent. If you do know where he is provide a description of his clothing and location.

"If you know where he is please call (01772) 209940 or 101. In an emergency call 999.

"Alternatively you can email 4923@lancashire.police.uk or forcecontrolroom@lancashire.police.uk"
