Two teenagers have been charged after a man suffered a punctured lung in an alleged stabbing in Blacktown in October.

Police say an 18-year-old was stabbed in the back at Westpoint Blacktown shopping centre at 8.30pm on October 30 after an altercation with four males.

The males fled the scene and the man was taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition.

After weeks of investigations, Blacktown police raided two homes in Hebersham on Wednesday, on Jindella Cres and Vallingby Ave.

They were granted bail to appear at a children’s court on January 13, 2020.

Police are investigating the whereabouts of the other two males.
