Two men have been attacked with a pair of scissors after a Christmas party on the New South Wales far north coast.

The men had just left the party at a community hall on Main Arm Road in Upper Main Arm at 11.30pm (AEDT) on Friday when a man began stabbing them with the scissors.

Both men suffered multiple stab wounds and were taken to hospital.

The offender then drove from the scene.

The two victims, aged 46 and 36, suffered wounds to their face and neck and were taken to Tweed Heads Hospital.

They are in a stable condition.

Police are hunting for their attacker, who drove away shortly after the stabbing.
