Police search for three offenders after man stabbed at home in Pimpama

Police are seeking three men after a man was stabbed during a confrontation on the Gold Coast.

Police say three men armed with knives attempted to force entry into a property on Wharf Street at Pimpama around 7pm yesterday before being confronted by the 51-year-old occupant, sparking a fight.

A 30-year-old man who also lived at the address became involved but both occupants retreated when one of the intruders produced a machete. The three men then ran off.

The 51-year-old resident suffered three non-life threatening stab wounds to his upper body and facial injuries and was taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital for treatment.

Police say it is believed the men involved are known to each other.

The first man is described as Caucasian, 170cm tall, aged in his 40s, of solid build and wearing a red hooded jumper.

The second man is described as Caucasian, 180cm tall, also aged in his 40s, of thin build and wearing a grey hooded jumper.

The third man is also described as Caucasian, 170cm tall, aged in his 20s, of slim build and wearing a blue hooded jumper.
