Police have arrested a 32-year-old man over Sunday's fatal stabbing at Bolton Point.

35-year-old Glen Smith died from stab wounds to his chest and arms when he stepped in to help a woman on Leumeah Place, when her alleged attacker turned on him.

Following extensive inquires, police arrested a 32-year-old man at the McDonalds restaurant on the corner of the Pacific Highway and Glover Street at Belmont at about 7 o'clock last night.

He's been refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today charged with murder.
