A police spokesperson said: “We still need your help in identifying and arresting those responsible.
“The victim sustained stab wounds to his hands and leg. We believe the attack occurred somewhere between Drumlin Drive on the Old Portadown Road, and Roundabout 1.
“If you saw a disturbance anywhere in that area late Sunday night into Monday morning, we need to hear from you.
“We believe that two heavy-set males were involved, one of whom was bald, the other had ginger hair and a ginger beard. Both are described as being between 40-50 years old.
“Someone is out there who, for whatever reason, is happy to take a weapon to someone’s body to cause significant injury. The sort of person who can do that should not be allowed to hide in the community.
