Oxley police are appealing for the man - who they claim knows he is wanted by officers - to hand himself in after a 35-year-old was stabbed with a broken beer bottle in Gunnedah.

The glassing happened after an argument unfolded at a campsite off Chandos Street on Saturday night.

"The victim suffered deep lacerations to his head behind his ear," Oxley Detective Inspector Jason Darcy told the Leader.
