Australian police seek four Irish nationals after man's ear partially severed in stabbing

A man and woman have already been charged in connection with this incident.

DETECTIVES INVESTIGATING THE stabbing of a man in a Sydney suburb over the weekend have released images of four men, believed to be Irish, who they say could assist them with the investigation.

Emergency services were called to the unit on Young Street in Randwick about 8.40pm local time on Saturday after reports of an altercation.

Police found a 30-year-old man who had suffered stab wounds to his head and body, with his ear partially severed.

He was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital where he had surgery. Police said he remains in a serious but stable condition.

A second man, aged 23, was found nearby in Botany Street with an arm injury and was taken to Prince of Wales Hospital for treatment.

New South Wales Police said the two men – who are known to each other – were involved in a physical altercation following an argument, before the older man was allegedly stabbed.

A 26-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and taken to Maroubra Police Station, along with the younger man after he was discharged from hospital. The man and woman have been charged and remain before the courts.

Following inquiries, police obtained images of four men who they believe might be able to assist with the investigation. Detectives believe all four men are Irish nationals.
