Police are searching for three other people involved in a late-night altercation in the Mackay CBD where a 48-year-old man was rushed to hospital after allegedly being stabbed in the ear.
Emergency services rushed the man to Mackay Base Hospital in the early morning after the alleged incident on Shakespeare Street around midnight on April 21.
Mackay Acting Detective Inspector Emma Novosel said the man had tried to intervene in an altercation involving three persons: two men and a woman.
“He’s made an attempt to intervene and told the male people to leave the female person alone,” Inspector Novosel said.
The man was allegedly challenged by one of the men, who then struck him on the back of the head.
“He has made his way to Dominoes on Shakespeare Street where he sought assistance for his injuries,” Inspector Novosel said.
The man was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
