He was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre, with authorities saying his injuries were not life-threatening.

Witness Jayson Haywood said, "Considering it looks like a big knife, he's pretty lucky".

"From what I've seen he seems like a good dude and I've never heard or seen anything bad apart from now," Haywood told 9News.

Police swarmed the area searching for the attacker but no arrests were made.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the attack or anyone with information to come forward.
