A 52-year-old man has been charged with numerous offences after he allegedly stabbed two men near Agnes Water

A man was flown to hospital after being stabbed numerous times, allegedly by another man while on a camping trip in the Gladstone region. The accused is expected to face court on Monday.

A 52-year-old man will face Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday after he allegedly stabbed two other men who were camping near Agnes Water.

Police investigations are ongoing following the alleged stabbing of a man in the Gladstone region early on Saturday morning after “some sort of altercation” while on a camping trip.

Around 4am Saturday morning RACQ Capricorn Rescue was tasked by Queensland Health to attend a Maude Hill Road property, Deepwater, after an alleged altercation involving three men aged 54, 52 and 51.

An hour earlier, a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the 52-year-old man allegedly attended and confronted the two other men.

The former allegedly produced a knife and inflicted multiple wounds resulting in deep lacerations to the 54-year-old man’s upper and lower arm on a rural property south of Agnes Water, near Deepwater.

The man was assessed by the on-board doctor and flight paramedic and was treated for potential life-threatening injuries, before being flown to Bundaberg Base Hospital in a serious but stable condition for further treatment.

The 51-year-old man was also taken to Bundaberg Hospital after suffering a laceration to his leg. His injuries were not considered as serious.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the trio were known to each other and that there had allegedly been some form of altercation or disagreement while they were camping.

The 54-year old man has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and wounding.
