Three masked men carried out an attack in Berkhamsted High Street that left the victim with a stab wound to the abdomen.
The men, who were in balaclavas, got out of a Mercedes to carry out the attack just before midnight on Saturday.
Hertfordshire police, who closed the High Street on Sunday for investigation work, are hunting the men.
They said: “Police were called at 11.57pm on Saturday (June 13) to reports of an assault in Berkhamsted High Street. Officers attended the scene and found a man who had sustained an alleged stab wound to his abdomen.
“He was taking to hospital and remains in a stable condition. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. The offenders, described as three males wearing balaclavas, are believed to have exited a vehicle, possibly a white Mercedes, before assaulting the victim. Officers searched the area but they remain outstanding at this time.”
