A man was tasered and pepper-sprayed by police as they arrested him for allegedly stabbing a woman known to him on a train.
The 37-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed in the ribs on a train about 1.30pm on Saturday, as it was stopped at the disused Ravensworth Railway Station in the Hunter Valley, NSW.
‘Officers attached to Hunter Valley Police District were told an altercation occurred between two passengers before a woman was stabbed,’ a NSW Police spokesman said.
The woman was treated by paramedics before she was flown to John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition.
Paramedics also assessed the arrested man before he was taken to John Hunter Hospital under police guard.
He was released into police custody following an assessment at the hospital.
The 35-year-old man has been charged with 10 offences as a result, including stalking and three other domestic-violence related charges.
