Yarra Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating after a man was stabbed in Fitzroy.
It is believed the victim was walking along Nicholson St from the city about 11.50pm on Friday, April 7, when he was approached by two unknown men.
Officers believe that one of the men produced a large kitchen knife and in an unprovoked attack slashed the victim across the face.
One man is approximately 180cm tall with dark coloured hair and a fringe. He was unshaven, described as having peach fuzz around the cheeks and above his lip.
The second man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and was wearing a grey hooded jumper, a dark coloured cap, grey tracksuit pants, dark Nike shoes and was carrying a black backpack.
