A man remains before the courts following an alleged assault in Newcastle yesterday.
About 2.10pm (Friday 16 August 2024), emergency services were called to an apartment on Nobbys Road, Newcastle East, following reports of a concern for welfare.
Officers attached to Newcastle City Police District arrived and located an 18-year-old man who had allegedly stabbed another man, aged 46.
Police intervened and arrested the younger man.
The injured man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
The younger man was taken to Newcastle Police Station where he was charged with reckless wounding.
He was refused bail and appeared at Newcastle Local Court today (Saturday 17 August 2024), where he was granted conditional bail to reappear at the same court on Tuesday 27 August 2024.
Initial inquiries have led police to believe the two men are known to each other.
