A teenage boy was stabbed SEVEN times in a frightening daytime attack.
The 15-year-old victim suffered potentially life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed five times to his back, once in the neck and once to his chest.
It is believed one of the stab wounds left him with a punctured lung.
Now he is in hospital as detectives hunt his attackers.
They are also trying to trace a car thought to be linked to the attack.
The thugs struck in an Almondbury off-licence store in broad daylight, leaving the boy badly hurt.
Police and ambulance were called to Aujlas convenience store on Southfield Road between 4.30pm and 5pm on Saturday.
The boy was taken to hospital by ambulance and had suffered a puncture to his lung.
He has since undergone treatment and is now expected to make a full recovery.
Two suspects known to police are being actively sought and police have said there were a number of people in the area at the time.
Acting Det Insp Ian Thornes, of Huddersfield CID, made an appeal for people to help police trap the attackers.
He said: “A 15-year-old victim is safe and well in hospital recovering after suffering seven knife wounds.
“We are seeking two suspects who are known to us and have already spoken to a number of people who were at the scene.
“We would urge anyone who saw a dark coloured Ford Fiesta in the area or knows the owner/keeper to get in touch.”
Officers declined to reveal the boy’s movements leading up to the attack as enquires are ongoing.
Anyone with information should contact Huddersfield CID on 101.
