Police have laid a murder charge after a man allegedly viciously stabbed on a Pyrmont street on the weekend died in hospital from his injuries.
Graham Anthony Egan has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in the alleged attack at Pirrama Rd on Sunday morning.
On Wednesday the 50-year-old was also handed a murder charge in Central Local Court after his alleged victim, Benjamin Coleman, died today at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
It is alleged he stabbed Mr Coleman, 40, in the neck, causing critical injuries about 2.30am on September 22.
Police will allege in court that the two men were known to each other.
Emergency services arrived on the scene soon after the alleged attack and rendered assistance to Mr Coleman, who was treated by paramedics and rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Mr Egan was arrested nearby by officers from Sydney City police area command.
His alleged victim died just after 9am on Wednesday.
Mr Egan, of Dulwich Hill, was refused bail at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday and was not required on screen when his matter was mentioned before Magistrate Clare Farnan at Central Local Court today.
Mr Egan did not apply for bail and it was formally refused.
Ms Farnan ordered a brief of evidence be served by November 27, when the matter will return to court.
