Jodi Gordon's former biker friend recovers from stabbing

Jodi Gordon's former biker friend Mark Judge has recovered from being stabbed eight times last month.

The alleged gang member, who was caught hiding in a flat with Home and Away star Gordon in 2009 after an alleged drug-fuelled episode, was in an induced coma in hospital three weeks ago. However, he has now been discharged and was spotted on a night out in Kings Cross at the weekend.

Judge told The Daily Telegraph: "What can you do? You've got to get on with your life. I checked myself out after a week. I got away for a while to Byron [Bay] with the boys just to take it easy [and] came back the other day."

He confirmed that he received 400 stitches in his chest and stomach where an armed attacker repeatedly stabbed him with a knife in the garage of his Bellevue Hill apartment.

When asked if he had been meeting with police detectives to help find his attacker, Judge added: "No. It's a cold case as far I'm concerned."

A police source recently said that Judge's history of violent assault and drug offences, together with links to a bikie gang, could produce a long list of potential suspects. One senior officer said: "With his reputation and history, it could be anybody."

Since Judge was convicted of drug possession in 2002, assault in 2005 and hindering a police officer in 2008, he has been forced to take regular drug tests, but all have come back negative.
