A man received a stab wound to his right hand during an argument on Scott Street, Dandenong.
Police said the 27-year-old from Rowville was walking outside the New Hotel with two friends about 8.40pm on Thursday 30 June.
About two to three men approached them from behind, and a verbal argument ensued.
The altercation escalated and one man produced what police described as an “edged weapon” and stabbed the victim to the right hand, causing a serious laceration to a finger.
The attackers fled the scene on foot and paramedics took the victim to Dandenong Hospital for treatment.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp urged anyone who witnessed the incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
