Jesmond home invasion stabbing: police seek 'stocky' man in sedan

Police are appealing for public assistance to find a "stocky" man with a sedan following a stabbing during a home invasion in Newcastle earlier this year.

About 10.30pm on Tuesday July 15, emergency services were called to a unit on Blue Gum Road, Jesmond, following reports a man had been stabbed.

On arrival, police located a 29-year-old man with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to John Hunter for treatment but has since been released from hospital.

Newcastle City police investigations continue and detectives are hoping to speak to a man who may be able to assist with their inquiries.

He's described as being of Caucasian appearance, between 170cm and 175cm tall, with a stocky build, wearing dark clothing and had his face covered.

It's believed the man left in a vehicle, described only as a light coloured four-door sedan which was waiting nearby.

Anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious between 10pm and 11pm on Tuesday July 15, or who may have nearby dashcam or CCTV footage is urged to contact Newcastle Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
