'You can't run forever'- Detective's warning as international manhunt launched for thug who fled country after brutal attack on two women at Newcastle Central Station

An International manhunt is today on to bring a thug who brutally attacked two women at Newcastle Central Station to justice.

Petr Priessnitz has admitted assaulting the vulnerable victims in the station's carpark, in a horrific onslaught which saw him stamp on one of the women's face, smashing her front teeth and breaking her nose. But he fled the country following his conviction and is still at large.

Priessnitz was last week sentenced in his absence to 10 years and two months in jail, in his absence, at Newcastle Crown Court.
