Man 'dragged from his car and stabbed in the leg' over wallet

Two men have been charged after a young man was allegedly stabbed by a group of armed men attempting to steal his wallet in Sydney's south-west overnight.

Police say the alleged victim was sitting in his parked Hyundai i30 on Dale Parade in Bankstown at 1.20am this morning when he was approached by at least four men brandishing knives.

The men allegedly demanded the driver's wallet and money and then dragged him from his car, beating him and stabbing him in the leg.

Police officers who happened to be driving by saw the attack, prompting the group to flee through Griffiths Park.

The officers chased the men on foot and two were found and arrested at a unit block on Northam Avenue.

The injured man was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to Liverpool Hospital, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

The two alleged attackers were taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with aggravated robbery with wounding causing grievous bodily harm.

The men, aged 23 and 29, been refused bail to appear at Bankstown Local Court tomorrow.

Detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.
