The man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Liverpool Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding his injury, including where it occurred, are continuing.
♦ In a separate incident, police are investigating a single vehicle crash at Greendale overnight.
About 12am (Monday, December 28), emergency services were called to Wolstenholme Avenue, following reports a vehicle had rolled.
The 55-year-old male driver was taken to Liverpool Hospital with head injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.

The Commander of the state’s Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, called for motorists to exercise extreme caution.
“We are seeing far too many tragedies play out on the road,” Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.
“We’re in the midst of a busy season on the roadway and it only takes a brief lapse in concentration for a regular commute or trip to turn into a nightmare.
“Motorists need to drive to the conditions and within the limits of the law.
“That means no speeding, no mobile phone use, no alcohol and no drugs.”
