A MAN had his cheek slashed when he challenged another man who was acting suspiciously on his driveway.

The victim approached the man who had been seen tampering with cars on a driveway on Mandeville Drive, St Albans, who then pulled out a six-inch blade with which he cut the man before running off towards Abbotts Avenue West.

The man was in his early 20's, with dark hair and a scar just above his left eye, and was wearing a grey puffa jacket and dark trousers.
