An 18-year-old woman is due front court next month after a domestic incident turned violent at Thornton.
Police were called to Government Road just before 4.0pm on Thursday, arriving to find a 20-year-old man fleeing from the premises after he was allegedly stabbed in the torso with a kitchen knife.
Police say they also found an 18-year-old woman still holding the weapon - it's claimed she threw knife at officers as they approached her.
She's been charged with malicious wounding and assault police and granted conditional bail to face Maitland Local Court on 2 November, 2017.
The 20-year-old man was taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
