Geelong recruit Jack Steven is in hospital following an incident on Saturday evening in Melbourne which has been referred directly to Victoria Police.
The Herald Sun is reporting Steven was involved in an altercation and suffered a stab wound to the chest.
"Stonnington Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating after a 30-year-old Lorne man presented at a Melbourne hospital overnight with a non-life-threatening injury," the statement from Victoria Police read. "Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and hope to speak to the victim again later today."
On Sunday morning, the Cats released a brief statement, but were unable to provide further comment on what happened to Steven.
"The club is aware that Jack Steven was injured in an incident last night," the statement read. "Jack is in hospital and recovering. The club's concern is for Jack's health and well being.
"The matter has been referred to police and until their investigations are completed the club will not be in position to offer further comment."
Steven joined the Cats at the end of 2019 after 11 seasons with St Kilda. He took two breaks from football in 2019 to focus on his mental health.
