New South Wales Police have released images of a man they are seeking in connection with an alleged attempted murder investigation in Sydney’s south-west. Officers are appealing for public assistance after a 74-year-old man was found with serious injuries following an alleged early morning assault in Yennora.
Emergency services were called after the elderly man was discovered badly injured during his regular morning walk in the Yennora area. Police allege the victim suffered a serious assault and was taken to hospital for treatment. He remains in a critical condition while investigators continue examining the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police have identified 45-year-old Corum Ash as a person of interest and have released images as part of their search. Authorities have warned members of the public not to approach him and instead contact police immediately if they see him or have information about his whereabouts.
Investigators believe the man may have connections to several suburbs in Sydney’s west, including Fairfield and Carlingford areas. Police say he is known to use public transport and are continuing inquiries to locate him.
The investigation has involved multiple police units as detectives work to collect evidence, review available footage and speak with witnesses who may have information about the alleged attack. Officers are also encouraging residents and motorists with CCTV or dashcam footage from the area to come forward.
The incident has raised concerns among local residents, particularly because the victim was allegedly attacked while carrying out a routine morning activity. Police have increased efforts to locate the wanted man and ensure community safety while the investigation continues.
NSW Police have reminded the community that anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers and avoid attempting to intervene directly. Investigators say information from the public could be important in helping establish the full circumstances of the alleged offence.
The case remains under active investigation, and further updates are expected as detectives continue their search and gather additional evidence.
