Mayor Patrick Conolly was taken to Westmead Hospital early this morning (Monday) after being stabbed in the arm during a home invasion in Bligh Park.

Police are now searching for several men who forced their way into the home. The men fled in the family’s car – a white Skoda.

Reports say the mayor was stabbed in the upper arm and is in a stable condition. His family were inside the home at the time and were uninjured.

Police were seen doorknocking residents of Porpoise Crescent this morning as part of their investigations.
