A fight outside a Fairfield hotel on Saturday morning left a man, 33, with stab wounds to his chest and cuts on his back.

The man was in the hotel's gaming area when he had an argument with a female patron and left after another man stepped in.

He was refused service at the bar and later returned with a metal pole.

The man then argued with about five men, Sergeant Don Jordan said, who took the fight onto Smart Street.

He was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition and police are reviewing CCTV footage.

Anyone with information should contact Fairfield Police, 9728 8399 or Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
