Domestic Violence Stabbing - Alice Springs

Police

Northern Territory Police are calling for information after a 25-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed multiple times with an edged weapon by her partner in Alice Springs early this morning.

At 4:43am this morning NT police received information that a woman had been stabbed outside a store on Todd Street.

CCTV captured a 32-year-old man, who is believed to be known to the woman, stabbing her multiple times, but the footage was not sufficiently clear enough to establish the nature of the weapon used, or the severity of the injuries sustained.

The offender fled prior to police attendance and the victim got into a vehicle, which was leaving as police arrived.  That vehicle, a white commodore with a white decal across the front windscreen, is believed to be involved in the incident.

Therefore, the condition of the victim could not be established, however, it is likely the victim has sustained substantial injuries.

A crime scene was declared and investigations remain ongoing.

The victim and the offender have now been identified and police are urging anyone who may have witnessed, or who have information about the incident to contact police on 131 444 as soon as possible and quote reference number NTP2500063207
