Manhunt for young woman with bleach blonde hair and her male companion

[Ulquiorra]

Two people who fled the scene after a man was fatally attacked in a quiet suburban street in Sydney's inner west, remain on the run.

Emergency services were called to the intersection of Hereford Street and Minogue Crescent at Forest Lodge near Glebe at around 12.40pm on Friday after a man was attacked with a samurai sword in broad daylight.

The man died at the scene and is yet to be formally identified but is believed to be a 30-year-old man.

Police released descriptions of a woman and man witnesses saw running from the scene, and appealed for help from the public to locate the pair.

Police would like to speak to a woman described as Caucasian, aged in her early 20s, thin build, about 178cm tall, with bleached blonde hair and dark coloured roots.

She was wearing a black singlet and maroon three-quarter pants at the time.

Her male companion was described as Caucasian, aged in his late 20s medium build, about 178cm tall with short brown hair.

'Police want to reassure the community that the attack is not considered random,' a NSW Police statement said.

Police seized a firearm and a number of weapons to be forensically examined but said no shots were fired.

Officers from Leichhardt Police joined forces with detectives from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad to establish Strike Force Hedda to investigate the man's death.
