Man stabbed after Sydney karaoke row AN alcohol-fuelled argument over two women at a karaoke bar may have led to a young man being repeatedly stabbed in south Sydney 24 hours later, police say. The victim, 21, had just left a restaurant with three friends when he was confronted by three men outside an internet cafe on Forest Road, Hurstville, about 8.20pm (AEST) on Tuesday, police say. The man was stabbed up to eight times, receiving wounds to the left side of his torso and back, along with his hands, Inspector Rob Duncan told reporters at Hurstville Police Station on Wednesday. It is not known how many of the three men actually stabbed the young man. The victim is undergoing tests for internal bleeding and remains in a serious but stable condition at St George Hospital. "It's a violent attack involving weapons and some serious injuries to the victim," Insp Duncan said. It's certainly lucky that the knife went into areas that weren't vital. Police said they are investigating whether the attack was in retaliation to an altercation at a karaoke bar on Monday night, when the victim argued with a group of Asian men over two women. Alcohol was a factor in the argument, Insp Duncan said. The attackers are described as of Asian appearance, in their early to mid-20s and wearing dark clothing.
