Man stabbed after residents return home to find intruder in their St Kilda apartment
A male resident has been stabbed after returning home and to find an intruder in his St Kilda apartment.
Police spent hours at the Wellington Street complex on Friday morning after it was initially believed the offender could still be inside.
The couple returned to their home about 4am, to be confronted by an intruder with a knife.
The male resident has suffered a stab wound to the arm and was taken to hospital.
Police have since released images of a man called David Perry.
A warrant has been issued for the 35-year-old’s arrest for the charge of attempted murder.
