Police are yet to make any arrests.

Tony Filetti lives near the scene and witnessed the man stumble into the road. He said the incident was “pretty freaky”.

“He was in a pretty bad way ... he was struggling for his life,” Mr Filetti said.

“He was a young man, he was asking for help,” he said.

Mr Filetti said he saw a few people run out of their cars to help the man who had been stabbed in the neck.
