A man was taken to hospital with stab wounds – and two others are facing charges – after an altercation at a southern suburbs home early Monday morning.
About 4am, police were called to a home on Oxford Street at Port Noarlunga South following reports of a “disturbance”.
On arrival, they found a 27-year-old man with stab wounds to his abdomen.
He was rushed to the Flinders Medical Centre with serious injuries, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
A 47-year-old man, who lives at the home, was taken to Noarlunga Hospital with lacerations on his hands.
He and a 21-year old man, also from Port Noarlunga South, have been charged with aggravated committing assault that causes harm. The younger man was arrested at the scene.
One neighbour, who did not want to be named, told The Advertiser a party had been held at the home just prior to lockdown.
“They keep to themselves but there’s always coming and goings,” he said.
Forensics officers who attended the scene later on Monday morning collected evidence including a drink bottle, and swabbed a bin.
Both of the charged men were granted police bail and will appear at the Christies Beach Magistrates Court in August.
Investigations are continuing, but police believe the men are known to each other.
