Man stabbed in the back with a knife outside Orange house

Central West Police District Chief Inspector Dave Harvey said the victim, 45, from Toongabbie in Sydney, went to a house in Sir Neville Howse Place about 2.35am.

Chief Inspector Harvey said several occupants of the house came out and confronted the man and one of them was holding a knife.

He said the victim was "yelling outside the premises.

"It is alleged that the offender approached the victim and stabbed him near his kidney. [He received] a five centimetre laceration to his rear left lower abdomen."

Chief Inspector Harvey said the victim was later located at 3.10am at another address and was taken to Orange hospital by ambulance.

He said the man was recovering in hospital but had refused to talk to police.

Chief Inspector Harvey said police were still seeking the offender who was described as a caucasian man in his early 20s with dark hair and was wearing a khaki green T-shirt and camoflauge-print black pants.

He appealed for any witnesses to contact Orange police station or call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
