A 42-year-old Kingaroy man is in a critical condition after being slashed in the neck late on Saturday night.
Emergency services were called to a house in Alford Street just before 12:30am on Sunday after reports a man had suffered a laceration to his neck.
They found a man with critical injuries.
He was transported to Kingaroy Hospital and then airlifted to Royal Brisbane Hospital.
A police spokesperson said it was believed another man, not known to the 42-year-old, left the scene before police arrived.
On Sunday morning, police had closed a section of Alford Street – from Youngman to William streets – and erected marquees outside a house.
Detectives have appealed for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious around the time of the incident, or may have relevant dashcam/CCTV footage, to come forward.
Investigations are continuing.
Information can be given anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800-333-000.
