A MANHUNT has been launched after a 23-year-old knife attacker breached the terms of his early prison release.

Bromley police are searching for Christopher Edwards, who was released from HMP Wayland in June last year after being jailed for stabbing a man.

Edwards was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison at Woolwich Crown Court in March 2009 after pleading guilty to assault causing GBH.

He has breached the terms of his early release by failing to live at his registered address in Beckenham and missing probation meetings.

Anyone with information about Edwards’ whereabouts should call Bromley police on 020 8284 8844 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
