A Salvation Army officer was twice stabbed in the back yesterday by a thief who tried to steal his donation tin

A Salvation Army officer was twice stabbed in the back yesterday by a thief who tried to steal his donation tin at Tweed Heads.

The 53-year-old man was leaving the Tweed City Shopping Centre, where he had raised money for the charity’s annual Red Shield Appeal, shortly after 5pm when he was attacked in the carpark.

Police said the volunteer was pushed from behind and then stabbed in the back with a box cutter as he tried to fight off the thief, but he managed to hold on to the donation box.
