SYDNEY, Dec 14 AAP - A man has been slashed across the stomach after a group of motorcyclists confronted him in a road rage incident south-west of Sydney, police say.
A 32-year-old man was driving on Remembrance Drive at Razorback at about 7.30pm (AEDT) on Saturday when he and a motorbike rider had a traffic dispute.
The victim, from Tahmoor, told police he got out of his car and was confronted by three other men on bikes, one of whom slashed him across the stomach with a knife.
His wallet and cigarettes were also stolen in the attack.
The injured man managed to drive home where his wife contacted police and paramedics.
He was taken to Campbelltown Hospital where he underwent surgery.
Camden Duty Officer, Inspector Josh Trevillion, has appealed for witnesses to what he described as an appalling crime.
"Any information provided will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence," he said.
"This is really a case where if a person saw or heard something, then they need to say something."
