Emergency services rushed to the apartments on Gertrude St in North Gosford following reports of a stabbing about 6.30am on Tuesday.

Police found a 38-year-old man with stab wounds to his upper body in the basement. He was treated at the scene and rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

Inspector Colin Lott says a man is fighting for his life after an alleged stabbing at an apartment block.

“Other neighbours around the area came out to see what was happening, they saw the two persons of interest leaving the scene and the male victim was bleeding profusely,” he told reporters.

“The male was lying on the ground near the elevator of the unit block and there was a large amount of blood.

“There was also a blood trail of where he had run from as well.”

Police are looking for a man of Pacific Islander or Maori appearance, he has a thin build and is aged in his mid-20s.

They are also looking for a thin caucasian woman aged about 20.

“Anyone able to identify the man and woman, or with further information about the incident, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers,” a police spokesman said.
