Police are appealing for information following an alleged stabbing south of Newcastle last night.<\/p>\n
About 7.30pm (Friday 1 April 2016), officers attached to Lake Macquarie Local Area Command were called to a property on Tahlee Avenue, Windale, after reports of an assault.<\/p>\n
Officers arrived to find a 25-year-old man and 27-year-old woman had allegedly been assaulted at the home.<\/p>\n
Police have been told the pair attended the home earlier that evening to visit a friend.<\/p>\n
While inside the property they were approached by two men, not known to them, who allegedly punched the woman in the face and stabbed the man.<\/p>\n
The armed men fled the location prior to police arrival.<\/p>\n
The woman sustained facial injuries and was treated by NSW Ambulance Paramedics but did not require further medical attention.<\/p>\n
The injured man was also treated by NSW Ambulance Paramedics and has since been taken to John Hunter Hospital. His injuries are not considered life threatening.<\/p>\n
A crime scene was established at the home, which was examined by detectives and forensic specialists.<\/p>\n
Detectives are continuing their inquiries into the incident and would now like to speak to two men who may be able to assist in the investigation.<\/p>\n
The first man is described as being about 20-30 years of age with a skinny build and was last seen wearing camouflage cargo pants and a t-shirt. The second man is described as being about 20-30-years of age and was last seen wearing a black hooded jumper and pants.<\/p>\n
Anyone who knows the identity of either man, or has any information that could assist police, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
Police are also keen to hear from anyone who may have seen two men leaving the Tahlee Avenue home between 7-7.30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
