A 22-year-old man has been stabbed in the chest and robbed while sitting in a car in Sydney's southwest.

The man and a 23-year-old woman had arranged to meet someone and were sitting in their parked car on Bright Street in Guildford on Sunday evening when they were approached by two men.

The men, described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, threatened the couple with a knife and a gun, police say.

The 22-year-old handed over cash but was stabbed in the chest by one of the men.

The attackers ran off and the injured man was taken to Westmead Hospital with non-life threatening wounds.
