A man has been seriously injured in a home invasion at Brookvale.
NSW Police have confirmed an investigation is underway following a home invasion last night (Sunday, 30 January) at Brookvale.
Officers from the Northern Beaches Police Area Command and NSW Ambulance paramedics responded to reports of a home invasion at Dale Street, Brookvale, just before 7.30pm.
They were told an unknown man had forced entry to the home, which was occupied by a 57-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman.
The unknown man then proceeded to assault the 57-year-old man, who suffered two stab wounds to the upper abdomen. The 33-year-old woman was reportedly not injured in the attack. The unknown man fled prior to the arrival of police, who were told that no items were stolen from the home.
The 57-year-old man was treated at the scene by intensive care paramedics, who stopped the bleeding from his wounds. The man is understood to have been conscious and able to speak with emergency services. He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital shortly after 8.00pm in a serious but stable condition.
Detectives from Northern Beaches Police Area Command have established a crime scene and commenced an investigation. Anyone who was in the area and may have information, particularly anyone with dashcam footage around the time of the attack, is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
