Police are asking the public for help after a man was stabbed several times during a fight with a gang of males in residential Richmond.
About 2 a.m. on Feb. 25, a 28-year-old man was walking along No. 1 Road near Lockhart Road when he got into an argument with crowd of four of five males.
A neighbour, on hearing the commotion, went outside and shouted at the men, who quickly dispersed.
