A man has been charged and will face court after an investigation by detectives into an incident at Pyrmont last Sunday where a woman was allegedly stabbed.
About 4.50am on Sunday 13 April 2025, emergency services were called to a unit complex on Bowman Street, Pyrmont, following reports of a stabbing.
On arrival, officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command were told a man had allegedly forced entry into the unit and stabbed a 41-year-old woman to the head before leaving.
She was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before she was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
Two other women – aged 18 and 61 - and two children were also in the home at the time.
The 18-year-old woman was also allegedly assaulted by the man and the 61-year-old woman was allegedly intimidated. They were uninjured.
