Police are appealing for public assistance as part of an ongoing investigation into a break and enter in Sydney's north west last year.
About 9am on Thursday 27 January 2021, a man and a woman forced entry into a home on Gilham Street, Castle Hill, before a 22-year-old man was restrained with cable ties and a second occupant – a 55-year-old woman – was stabbed in the neck.
Police have been told the pair then stole cash before fleeing the scene.
Officers attached to The Hills Police Area Command were notified and attended the home, where a crime scene was established and forensically examined.
The man was taken to hospital in a critical condition and has since been released.
As inquiries into the incident continue, investigators have released CCTV of a man and woman who they believe can assist them.
The man is described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, aged in his 20s, about 180cm-185cm tall, of lean build with black curly hair.
