Stabbing appeal

Police are appealing for public assistance after a Werribee man was stabbed at a sporting venue in Altona North last month.

The incident occurred at a basketball tournament held at a Dohertys Road venue, just after 8.30pm on Sunday, November 28.

Police have been told a group of men attended the venue and a fight allegedly broke out between the men and tournament organisers.

A 22-year-old Werribee man sustained stab wounds to his upper body and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A second man, also aged 22 and from Werribee, was also treated on scene by paramedics.

Police said they believe a number of people were at the venue at the time of the incident. Investigators are keen to speak to any witnesses.

Police have released images of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
