Two self appointed bouncers at a Mosman house party allegedly “stomped” on one teenager, before one is said to have stabbed another guest with a kitchen knife, all as horrified revellers watched on.

Police allege a 16-year-old boy feared he was going to die as a knife was held to his throat when the Friday night party in the harbourside suburb descended into chaos at the hands of its two self appointed bouncers - Hugo Phipson and his friend Riley Taylor, both 20.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the details of what allegedly led up to the boy being stabbed by Phipson who remains in custody after Taylor was granted bail in Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.

According to court documents, police say a young man at the party was “king punched” and “stomped” on by Phipson and Taylor after being ejected from the party.

Police allege the brother of that guest soon arrived at the Awaba St home to confront the “bouncers”, asking “which one of you hurt my brother?”, before a brawl erupted.

As the scuffle broke out between the men, a teenage guest at the party attempted to break them apart, court documents state.

After the brawl, police allege Taylor and Phipson went into the home and “armed themselves each with a black handled kitchen knife with a 15-centimetre serrated blade”.

According to court papers, at the same time, the teenage reveller who had moments earlier tried to break up the fight, went to leave the party.

But as he did so, police allege Phipson yelled “are you scared now?”, before pushing the teen up against a wall and holding the knife to his throat.

The victim allegedly tried to grab Phipson’s hand to force him to drop the knife, and in doing so sustained cuts to his own hands.

Police allege Phipson, from Mosman, shouted “get this guy,” before Taylor punched the teenager to the face. Court documents state Phipson then allegedly stabbed him with the knife to the left thigh piercing his pants and causing a seven centimetre gash.

Police prosecutors told Taylor’s bail hearing the alleged victim “was so traumatised he thought he was going to die”.

Taylor was granted bail on strict conditions, including residing at his parents’ home on the NSW Central Coast, to undergo random drug testing and reporting daily to police.

He is charged with being armed to commit an indictable offence, affray, common assault and stalking or intimidation.

“These are serious charges, I’m reluctant to grant you bail but I need someone to check on you,” said Magistrate Ray Plibersek.

“Just because you’re good at martial arts doesn’t mean you should always use it.”

Phipson is charged with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and affray. His case was adjourned at Parramatta Local Court until August 7 for a release application.

Taylor is due at Manly Local Court on July 30. Neither man has entered a plea.
