Police seek Dr Mulholland's attackers

Police are hunting for two men who carried out an aggravated robbery which left television doctor Tom Mulholland with a stab wound to his arm.

The men entered an inner-city Auckland apartment where Dr Mulholland, who fronted the day-time chat show Dr Tom, The Attitude Doctor, was visiting last Thursday.

One man lunged at him with a carving knife, cutting an artery in his forearm. He underwent surgery at Auckland Hospital and is recovering at home in Taranaki.

Dr Mulholland said he did not get a good description of the men because he was focussed on the knife.
