The vicious stabbing of a father-of-two by three large hooded men is being treated as a case of mistaken identity by detectives.
Police rushed to the Western Sydney home of Warren Scott, 45, just after 11pm on Saturday where they found his Ringrose Avenue granny flat in Greystanes in Sydney s west billowing with smoke.
First responders also discovered blood spattered across the walls and floors of the home and on the doorstep.
The LED technician who had to be taken to Westmead hospital for cuts, bruises and abrasions, told police his home had been set on fire after intruders barged in and stabbed him.
