‘Real-life Grinch’ captured stabbing inflatable Santa outside family home

Police are searching for a real-life Grinch who stabbed and deflated a giant inflatable Santa outside a family’s home as they attended a carol service.

Emergency medical technician Michael Cook, 40, was singing with his eight-year-old daughter Scarlett in Lowestoft, Suffolk when the unknown suspect stabbed Father Christmas.

Michael says Scarlett was ‘heartbroken’ after seeing the damage, and asked him if she had done something wrong to cause it.
