A 21-year-old woman is in a stable condition in the John Hunter Hospital after a domestic-related stabbing incident on the Mid North Coast.
Police say she was in the car park at Beach Road in Forster with a friend on Friday night when she was approached by a man known to her and stabbed twice in the back.
Her 22-year-old female friend was allegedly threatened with a knife and had her phone taken when she tried to help the victim - who was taken to Manning Base Hospital before being airlifted to Newcastle in a stable condition.
A 31-year-old man was later arrested at a home in Forster and charged with robbery while armed with an offensive weapon, wound with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and breaching an AVO.
