He had been in a critical condition after he was stabbed multiple times during an incident on Kinnaird Avenue
Stephen Ogilvie has now left the intensive care unit as he continues to make a recovery following the attack on him in North Belfast.
Stephen had been in a critical condition after he was stabbed multiple times during an incident on Kinnaird Avenue on June 8. This sparked widespread disorder across Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland.
The attack on Stephen left him blind in his left eye and at risk of losing sight in the other.
A 30-year-old Sundanese national, Hadi Alodid, has been charged with attempted murder, threats to kill an NHS radiographer on the same day and possession of a knife.
Niall Donnan, who set up a fundraiser for Stephen, shared and update from his Stephen’s father which says that his son has now left intensive care and continues to make steps in his recovery, although he has a difficult road ahead of him.
His father said: “We wanted to share a positive update on Stephen’s recovery and thank everyone for their incredible support. Stephen is now out of ICU and is talking more each day, which is a huge step forward for him and his family. While he still has a long road ahead, we are grateful to see him continuing to make progress.
“Your donations, messages, and support have meant so much during this difficult time. Thank you all for standing with Stephen and his family and continuing to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”
The fundraiser for Stephen has now raised over £36,000 and can be found by following this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-victim-of-horrific-belfast-knife-attack?
