He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Officers are now working to hunt down the person responsible.
"Until we get a formal statement from the person obviously we've been door-knocking and canvassing, we have some information in regards to yelling that was heard around that time," Detective Superintendent Pat Sharkey said.
"But in terms of firm identification of a person of interest, no we don't."
One line of inquiry is whether a fight broke out before the man was injured.
