A manhunt is under way after a woman was allegedly stabbed by a man known to her outside of a gym in Sydney's inner city.
Officers were called to a car park outside of Crunch Fitness on O'Riordan Street in Alexandria after reports of a stabbing 12.30pm today.
Police have said they were told a man in his 40s had allegedly stabbed a 39-year-old woman in the head, upper body and ear.
Investigators believe they were known to each other, with Detective Superintendent Rodney Hart calling it a "targeted attack."
"We've identified that we believe the offender in this matter is known to the victim," Hart said while addressing the media.
He also said it was a domestic-violence-related attack, with the woman believed to have dated the man for a short period of time.
"It's horrendous what has happened to this poor victim," Hart said.
"To the offender, hand yourself in because you're going to be arrested."
Witnesses have told 9News they helped the bleeding woman upstairs into the gym, where staff began first aid while emergency responders were called.
The man allegedly got into a Grey 2006 Ford Focus hatchback and drove away following the incident.
Police say the car's registration is AYQ14W.
Investigators believe the offender is known to them for prior domestic violence offences.
The woman was taken to hospital in a stable condition after being treated by paramedics.
Her injuries are non-life threatening.
Police are searching for a 40-year-old man, between 170cm to 175cm tall.
He is described as having a muscular to solid build with dark hair and possibly a dark beard.
He was wearing a grey jacket with black pants and white sneakers at the time of the alleged attack.
A crime scene has been established and an investigation is underway.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
