Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a stabbing and affray in Shepparton.
It is understood a verbal altercation occurred between two men and a third, unknown man outside a residence on St Georges Road about 8.40pm on Friday, 1 August.
Officers have been told the two men then left the address and walked to a nearby bottle shop on High Street where a physical altercation occurred between the trio.
During the altercation, officers believe the third man produced a knife and stabbed the men, before fleeing on foot.
An 18-year-old man from Shepparton and a 23-year-old man from Kialla were both taken hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It is expected the pair will be interviewed in relation to the affray.
While the 18-year-old and the 23-year-old are known to each other, it is understood the third man was not known to the pair.
Detectives have released images and CCTV of a man they believe might be able to assist with their enquiries.
The man is perceived to be Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander in appearance.
He was seen wearing a black puffer jacket and black tracksuit pants.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV, dashcam footage or any other information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
