A man has been charged after allegedly stabbing another man in Lake Macquarie on Tuesday.
About 1.45pm, emergency services were called to a
home on Earswick Crescent, Buttaba, following reports that a man had been seriously
injured during a fight.
Police were told that a 27-year-old man attended the home and allegedly
punched a 47-year-old man multiple times before stabbing him in the armpit and
leaving the scene.
Officers attached to Lake Macquarie Police District attended, along with NSW
Ambulance paramedics, who treated the older man for his injuries. He was taken
to John Hunter Hospital for surgery.
A short time later, police arrested the 27-year-old on Wyee Road, Doyalson.
He was taken to Toronto Police Station and charged with reckless wounding
(DV) and assault occasioning actual bodily harm (DV).
The Wyee man was refused bail to appear in Toronto Local Court on Wednesday.
The two men are known to each other.
