Investigations are underway after a man was stabbed in Toongabbie overnight.
In the evening of Saturday 12 December 2020, a 32-year-old man was with a number of friends in the front yard of his Valeria Street home.
Shortly after midnight (Sunday 13 December 2020), a group of 10-20 people, described only as African in appearance, were walking past the man's home when one of them stopped at the front fence and requested a cigarette.
When the resident declined, police have been told the group became violent and started throwing bottles and rocks at the resident and his friends.
As the resident approached the group he was stabbed in the chest.
The group ran from the scene as police and NSW Ambulance paramedics were called.
Emergency services arrived and treated the man before he was taken to Westmead Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
A crime scene has been established at the Valeria Street residence as inquiries continue by officers from Blacktown Police Area Command.
