Man stabbed repeatedly in vicious alleged Adelaide attack
A man has been rushed to hospital with multiple stab wounds after he was discovered bleeding profusely on a quiet Adelaide street. Neighbours in the inner-north suburb of Devon Park were woken by a man yelling for help just after 4am on Monday morning. A number of people left their homes to investigate the cries for help, which CCTV footage shows coming from a severely injured man hobbling down the street. SA Police Detective Acting Chief Inspector Jeff Lang said investigators 'do not believe' the attack was random. 'The behaviour in this attack indicates to Police that those involved are known to each other and that the community should be reassured that we believe this is an isolated incident,' he said on Monday. 'While this type of attack is serious, we will respond rapidly and appropriately to ensure those involved are placed before the court.' Acting Chief Inspector Lang said the police had been unable to interview the victim since he was admitted to hospital, but they were aware the man's injuries were no longer life threatening. 'We are in the early stages of this investigation, and I cannot disclose any more at this time. What we do need, however, is help from the public,' he said. The police have encouraged members of the public who may have information to contact Crimestoppers.
