Two boys are expected to front the children's court today (Thursday 21 August 2025) accused of another stabbing at Charlestown overnight.
Witnesses have told police two people allegedly assaulted a 32-year-old man with a knife at the North Piazza outside the Charlestown Shopping Centre on Ridley Street just after 8.30pm before the pair ran off.
The man was treated by paramedics for serious lacerations to his arm before being taken to the John Hunter Hospital for further treatment.
Police say the victim did not know his attackers and it's alleged the teens were being rowdy and turned on the man when he told them to leave the area.
Following inquiries, police arrested two 17-year-old boys nearby.
They've each been charged with wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm - one of the boys also charged with drug possession.
