A man has suffered serious stab wounds during a wild brawl, after trying to defend his little sister who had been punched in the face.

Dozens of people had been partying at a home on Karangi Road in Whalan on Friday night when an 18-year-old girl was punched in the face, neighbours said.

“They’d been partying for most of the night,” one Karangi Road resident said.

“She came outside and a man punched her in the face, we saw it all.”

A short time later, the teen’s 20-year-old brother arrived in a dark coloured Sedan, jumping out of his car with a blue baseball bat.

“He didn’t even get a swing in,” a witness said.

“About 20 people just charged out of the house toward him.”

It’s alleged a man wearing a grey hood ran from the house and onto the street, stabbing the 20-year-old several times.

He and his sister managed to flee the fight, ending up at a home on Carlisle Ave in Mount Druitt.

Police and paramedics were called to the Carlisle Ave address, where they found the 20-year-old man with several stab wounds to his chest, arm and head.

He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition. His sister was taken to Nepean Hospital for treatment.
