The suspect remains at large, and he is described as being of African appearance, aged between 18-25, 185cm tall with a medium build and black curly hair.

He was wearing a plain black T-shirt, black pants and black shoes.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, two men have been rushed to hospital after they were both stabbed in a fight in Adelaide’s CBD.

The altercation happened about 6.30pm Tuesday in Whitmore Square, with both men suffering minor injuries.

The pair were known to each other, and were both rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment.

Following investigations, one of the men, from Hectorville, 52, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault causing harm and carrying an offensive weapon.

He was refused bail to appear in court on Wednesday.

It follows a series of stabbings in Adelaide in recent months, including one that occurred in Adelaide near the Railway Station.

A Far North woman, 28, was taken to the RAH and treated for leg injuries on May 15.

The day before, a man was allegedly stabbed in a home invasion at Elizabeth Vale.

The occupant was stabbed in the stomach in the incident and rushed to hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
