(MENAFN) On Monday, Australian police confirmed that a 20-year-old male suspect has been charged in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred over the weekend. The incident took place on Sunday evening at approximately 7:45 PM local time, when emergency services were dispatched to a function center located on The Boulevarde in Fairfield Heights following reports of an assault.
Upon their arrival, officers found a 45-year-old man who had sustained multiple stab wounds to his shoulder and back. Paramedics provided initial treatment at the scene before transporting the victim to Liverpool Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition.
In response to the stabbing, a crime scene was established, and an investigation was promptly initiated to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident. On Monday, the 20-year-old suspect presented himself at Fairfield Police Station, where he was subsequently arrested. According to the New South Wales Police Force (NSW), the suspect has been charged with "wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm" and was denied bail. He is scheduled to appear in Fairfield Local Court later today.
Fairfield Heights, a suburb with a population of over 8,000 residents, is situated approximately 25 kilometers west of Sydney's central business district. The stabbing incident is notable as it marks the third alleged stabbing in Sydney during the recent weekend. Earlier in the weekend, a 37-year-old man succumbed to stab wounds in his abdomen at a separate incident on Saturday. The spate of violence highlights ongoing concerns about public safety and the need for continued vigilance in addressing violent crime.
