A man is fighting for life and a woman has been seriously injured after an alleged stabbing in southwest Sydney.

NSW Ambulance paramedics and police rushed to a property on Ninth Ave, Campsie about 8.45pm on Wednesday and found two people with stab wounds.

A man, 46, with stab wounds to his chest, face and arm was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a critical condition, while a woman, aged 53, with stab wounds to her thigh was taken to St George Hospital in a serious condition.

Marvin Mahoney, 25, was arrested on Wednesday morning and taken to Concord Hospital in a stable condition.

He was later brought to Campsie Police station and charged with two counts of attempted murder and break and enter a dwelling and assault with intent to murder.

Mahoney did not appear via audiovisual link as his lawyer made no application for bail at Bankstown Local Court on Friday and requested for the matter to be adjourned.

Magistrate Glenn Walsh granted the adjournment for June at Burwood Local Court.

On Thursday morning a trail of blood could be seen along the footpath, fence, tap and garden of a property on First Avenue.

Nearby resident Rizwan Sattar and his father Abdus Sattar were inside their home on Wednesday night when they heard a woman screaming “repeatedly” from the property next door. 

“I heard ‘help, call the police, I’ve been stabbed’,” Mr Sattar said. 

“I got up and was about to call police but then I heard the sirens already outside.

Mr Sattar said he looked out the window to see “so many” emergency service vehicles, including six police cars and three ambulances. 

His father said he was shocked after discovering what had happened in the townhouse next door.

“There was a lot of blood on the door way of the house and the ground. I saw a lot of blood,” he said.

“It’s hard to believe this has happened. They’re a good neighbour.”
