Man ***** in broad daylight stabbing on suburban street

Two men had just finished a pizza and were walking to a friend’s house when they were set upon by a group of masked men who stabbed and ******* one of them in broad daylight.

A 37-year-old man underwent surgery but ***** in hospital after the ******* in Sydney’s west early on Saturday afternoon.

Police are appealing for information in a bid to identify the masked-up members of a trio who bashed and stabbed him on Bangor St at Guildford.

The man who ***** was known to police, but not for any serious matters, and had no known links to organised ******, Superintendent Andrew Holland told reporters on Sunday.

“There is concerns about why they’ve been attacked in the middle of the day, in the middle of the street,” Supt Holland said.

The three men involved in the ******* were dressed all in ****** with face coverings, he said.

“They obviously had intent when they went to that location, they knew what they were up to, and obviously our victim and our witness were in the wrong place at the wrong time by the looks,” Supt Holland said.

The two men had parked a street over to eat a pizza and were walking to a friend’s house when the ******* took place, he said.

The other man distracted one of the attackers before retrieving the car and driving the victim to Westmead Hospital, where he *****.

Police are yet to identify a motive or find a ******* allegedly used in the *******, but have appealed for dashcam footage in the vicinity from about 1.35pm, seeking a silvery-blue Toyota sedan with tinted windows seen turning left into Guildford Rd as it left the scene.

It was the second stabbing ****** in Sydney on Saturday.

A 15-year-old boy was charged with ******* after a man in his 30s was stabbed at Concord in the city’s inner west.

The prevalence of ****** possession and associated ****** were a major concern, Supt Holland said.

“Everyone seems to think that they need to carry a ****** to protect themselves,” he said.

“They don’t need to carry knives at all, it’s an offence, and police will take action.”

Recent law changes allow police to stop and scan people for knives in specific locations in a bid to ****** down on ****** ******.
