About 4.20pm on Sunday 29 September 2024, emergency services were called to Darling Road, Haymarket, following reports of an assault.
On arrival, officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command were told a 22-year-old man had been walking along Hay Street when he was stabbed in the back by another man, who ran away.
The men were not believed to be known to each other.
