At approximately 8:00 pm last night police and St John Ambulance members attended a residence in Gray after receiving reports of an assault.

Members arrived at the Cornwallis Circuit residence where it is believed that an altercation occurred between a 48-year-old male and a 43-year-old female, resulting in the male sustaining a single stab wound to the chest.

He was conveyed to Royal Darwin Hospital to receive treatment.

The 43-year-old female was taken to the Darwin Watch House where she remains in police custody.

Charges are expected to be laid later today.
