Raptor Squad detectives are appealing for public assistance as they continue to investigate a malicious wounding in Lake Macquarie last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 8am on Tuesday 10 August 2021, two men \u2013 then aged 33 \u2013 were seated inside a purple Holden Commodore at a gravel carpark at the intersection of Impala Street and Main Road, Edgeworth, when a black Audi hatchback drove into the carpark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two men exited the hatchback and approached the Commodore, before one of the men \u2013 armed with a knife \u2013 slashed the two passenger side tyres and then stabbed the male passenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both men then approached the driver\u2019s side and assaulted the driver before fleeing the scene in the Audi. The vehicle was last seen travelling east on Main Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The men attended John Hunter Hospital for treatment, but have both since recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District were notified and commenced inquiries, before the matter was referred to the State Crime Command\u2019s Raptor Squad for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
