CCTV captures Christmas Grinch’s bizarre knife attack on inflatable tree
CCTV footage shows the bizarre moment a real-life Grinch carried out a late night knife attack on a giant inflatable Christmas tree.
Shaun Davies, 22, was left gobsmacked when the festive display outside his home in Wrexham was targeted by a mindless vandal on Tuesday night (14/12).
Security cameras captured the yob, who was with two pals, marching over and putting a knife through the inflatable fir causing it to sadly deflate to the ground.
Shaun had created the dazzling winter wonderland outside his home to raise money for charity after his partner Jodie Murphy, 33, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
He says he was left devastated when he woke the next day to find one of the decorations in a pile on the ground with a slash mark through the middle.
Caretaker Shaun has spent thousands of pounds over the last five years decking out the front of his home with Christmas lights, decorations and a grotto.
He said: "This year I spent a few hundred pounds adding to the display as we wanted it to be bigger and better than ever for Jodie.
"But we woke up on the Wednesday morning to discover the Christmas tree had been slashed with a blade and couldn't believe it.
"Our first thought was 'what is the point in that?' Why would you go around stabbing an inflatable Christmas tree? It's just a bit odd.
"The aggression he does it with is extremely shocking as well. It's like he wanted to cause maximum damage - but it was just a blow up tree.
"We think it must have been a knife because the cut was so large and clean. The most worrying thing is that somebody is walking the streets with a knife.
"Its disappointing because it is obvious the display is for charity. We have signs up about checking yourself for cancer and there's also a donation tin.
"The police sound keen to apprehend him as the biggest concern is that somebody is wandering around with a blade and obviously willing to use it.
"The response has been amazing though and somebody from Australia has even been in touch offering to pay for another one."
