Three women who accepted a ride home from a man in Sunshine North quickly turned on him, stabbing him in an attempt to steal his car.

The 26-year-old man offered to drive the women home from a pub in Richmond, and drove them around 25km to Sunshine North. He was stabbed as he pulled over at Heron Avenue before 10pm.

The man fought back and managed to escape despite his injuries, running to nearby McIntyre Road to raise the alarm.

He was taken to Sunshine Hospital in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.

The women fled without the man’s blue Volkswagen Golf, and police are currently on the hunt for them or any witnesses who may have seen them run off.

No arrests have yet been made.
