A man was stabbed in the chest and left with life-threatening injuries while another man was also injured in two separate attacks at a Bunbury beach on the weekend.

Police say the two victims were approached by an unknown man armed with a knife at the Mindalong Beach carpark in South Bunbury on Saturday.

The man threatened both men and demanded property, police say.

A man in his 40s was stabbed in the chest while the second victim received an injury to his hand and needed medical attention.

The incidents occurred between 12noon and 1.30pm.

Bunbury detectives are asking anyone who might have seen anyone suspicious – particularly a man wearing a red long sleeve jumper, black pants and a baseball cap – in the area between 11.30am and 2pm to contact police.

Anyone with information or who might have dash-cam footage of the area is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report here.
