One man is dead and another is fighting for life following a stabbing at a construction site in Sydney’s inner west.
A hunt is underway for a third man who fled the scene on Wednesday afternoon, NSW Police say.
Emergency services were called to the construction site on the Princes Highway in St Peters about 1pm.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, one of the men died at the scene. The other man was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.
Officers were told a third man had fled the construction site. The trio knew each other.
A large-scale search is underway to find the third man who’s described as being Caucasian, 180-centimetres tall and with a shaved head.
He was wearing a high-vis yellow shirt and long blue work pants.
Police have warned the public not to approach the man if they see him but to instead call triple zero.
Police are urging the public to stay away from the area near the intersection of Short Street and the Princes Highway.
