A man was allegedly hit in the head with a bottle and then stabbed in the back during a suspected road rage attack on the Gold Coast Highway.

Police are investigating an altercation between the occupants of two vehicles at a Broadbeach intersection on Saturday night.

Around 10.40pm, three men were in a vehicle stopped at traffic lights between Hooker Blvd and Pacific Fair Dr when a bottle, allegedly thrown from a nearby car, struck the back passenger window.

A man, 27, then got out of vehicle and another bottle was allegedly thrown which hit the side of his head.

Police say a group of males from the other car then descended on the injured man and allegedly stabbed him with an unknown object before fleeing the scene in a white sedan.

The victim was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
