Sydney City Police Area Command’s Chief Inspector Gary Coffey said police had so far been unable to determine an exact motive for the alleged stabbing.

“At this stage we’re unable to confirm the exact motive for this crime other than all three persons involved in this incident are co-workers,” he told media on Saturday afternoon.

“I’m not exactly sure of the circumstances which led up to the attack but you would have to think there was some sort of a, perhaps a dispute this morning in the work environment.

“We have to pay tribute to the co-workers who intervened because the situation could have been a lot worse than it is.”

The 30-year-old woman was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition.

Police allege a 27-year-old woman was assaulted as she tried to intervene in the altercation, suffering minor injuries.

She was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Sunday.

Police say all three women are known to one another.
