The offenders demanded that the victim hand over his belongings, and when he refused and fought back, one of them stabbed him in the abdomen and the buttock.
The victim had to have surgery after suffering the injuries and remains in hospital.
The two offenders are described as male, both wearing dark winter clothing with hoods up and masks on.
One of the men was white, while the other had a darker complexion.
Investigating officer Detective Constable James Schöpp, based at Milton Keynes police station, said: “The victim in this case refused to hand over property and was subsequently injured by a sharp object, which has required surgery.
