Woman is reportedly stabbed on a train while man is arrested
A man was tasered and pepper-sprayed by police as they arrested him for allegedly stabbing a woman he knew on a train.
The 37-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed in the ribs on a train as it stopped at the disused Ravensworth train station in the Hunter Valley, NSW, about 1.30pm on Saturday.
“Officers from the Hunter Valley Police District were advised that an altercation had occurred between two passengers before a woman was stabbed,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.
The woman was treated by paramedics before being flown to John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition.
Paramedics also examined the arrested man before he was taken to John Hunter Hospital under police guard.
He was released by police after an examination at the hospital.
The 35 year old man has been charged with ten offenses as a result, including stalking and three other domestic violence-related charges.
