Woman is allegedly stabbed on a train as a man is arrested at Ravensworth Railway Station
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.
After an examination at the hospital, he was released by the police.
The 35 year old man has been charged with ten crimes as a result, including stalking and three other domestic violence-related charges.
