A MAN required eye surgery after being stabbed while he slept at a Noble Park house party last Sunday morning.

Police say the 40-year-old Noble Park man, a visitor to the Ellt Crescent home, was asleep on a couch when a person stabbed him in the right eye with a ‘‘sharp object’’ about 12.30am.

Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton, of Greater Dandenong CIU, said the victim’s eye may be permanently damaged.

Detective Kirton said many of the 10-12 party-goers at the house at the time were unknown to the host.

‘‘We’re trying to identify any persons at the party to assist with the investigation.’’

Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
