An 18-year-old girl has been granted strict conditional bail after being charged with stabbing another teenage girl several times with a pocket knife at Kahibah.
Police were called to bushland near Flaggy Creek Reserve at about 9 last night where the girls had been socialising with a group of people.
It's alleged the 18-year-old got into a fight with the 17-year-old girl, stabbing her in the chest, stomach, arms and hands.
The victim is recovering in the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
Police charged the 18-year-old with reckless wounding - she's due to face Belmont Local Court later this month.
