Police have released CCTV of a man they wish to speak to after a shocking stabbing in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Detectives are appealing for public assistance after a man was stabbed at a unit on Mount Street in Coogee on January 8.

Officers were told a man had entered the home and demanded money from the male occupant before stabbing him several times and fleeing the scene.

No money was stolen.

“Investigators believe the man used a ride-share service to attend and leave Mount Street and are treating the incident as targeted,” police said.

Paramedics treated the 33-year-old occupant before he was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious condition.

He required multiple emergency surgeries for wounds to his stomach, back and arms.

Strike Force Rodsi is investigating the incident and have released CCTV of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

He is described as of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, aged in his early 20s, between 170cm and 180cm tall, of medium build, with short black hair that is shaved on the sides.

He was wearing a dark coloured T-shirt with a white print on the back, dark coloured shorts and black and white sneakers.
