Police are investigating a case of a man who presented to paramedics with knife wounds and whether those injuries are linked to an alleged brawl outside a western Newcastle home on Tuesday night.
Police were called to Bunn Street, Wallsend, about 6.35pm after being notified that a 41-year-old man had presented to a NSW Ambulance crew with wounds to his wrist and chest.
