Attempted murder appeal, Mango Hill
Detectives have released vision of a vehicle believed to be linked to an incident last week where a man was stabbed at Mango Hill.
The 46-year-old man attended a property on Lamington Road around 12.20pm on October 10 when his vehicle was prevented from passing by a four wheel drive parked on the driveway with a man standing beside it.
The victim exited his vehicle to speak with the man when a white hatch back pulled up behind, blocking him in. A man approached him from the passenger side of the hatchback armed with a knife.
Investigations indicate at this point the man waved the knife threateningly at the victim.
The victim grabbed a metal pole from the ground to defend himself and the armed man lunged at the victim a number of times, striking him in the torso with the knife. The victim struck the attacker and hit him a number of times, injuring him before he retreated to the white hatchback.
The man was driven from the scene by a third man in the white hatchback. The first man left immediately in the four wheel drive.
The victim was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening stab wounds.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen a small white sedan or similar model in the area around the time of the incident to come forward.
It is believed the vehicle sustained a smashed rear window during the incident and was reportedly missing a rear registration plate.
Police are also concerned for the health of the man due to possible injuries sustained during the incident.
