Man Charged Over Maitland Stabbing

BY GEORGIA LUPTON

A 46-year old man has been charged with reckless wounding after allegedly stabbing a 50-year old man in the carpark of the PENDER PLACE SHOPPING CENTRE.

Paramedics were called to the carpark at around 5pm yesterday where two men were involved in an altercation.

The 50-year old victim suffered non life-threatening chest injuries.

Police searched nearby streets where they allegedly found the 46-year old man in possession of a knife.

It is believed the two were drinking buddies, with an argument alleged to have begun at a nearby hotel.

The accused was refused bail and will appear in Maitland Local Court today.
