Hendra Criminal Investigation Branch have charged a man with attempted murder following investigations into a wounding incident in Stafford last night, 29 January.
It will be alleged that around 9.50pm a 20-year-old Stafford man and a 30-year-old Boonah man, known to each other, were involved in a physical altercation at a Brennan Street address.
During the altercation, it is further alleged the Stafford man stabbed the Boonah man several times in his back and neck before fleeing the scene in a Holden stolen from the address.
At approximately 9.54pm, police and emergency services received reports of the incident and quickly arrived at the scene.
The Boonah man was transported to hospital in serious condition.
A knife was seized at the scene.
Investigations led to the arrest of the Stafford man in Wavell Heights shortly after 11.30pm.
