A man faced court today charged with reckless wounding following an alleged stabbing in Trangie yesterday.

At about 7pm on Sunday 9 February, two men aged 21 and 34 were reportedly arguing outside a unit complex on Albert Street when the 21-year-old allegedly stabbed the 34-year-old in the neck with a fold-out knife.

Police said the 21-year-old then fled the scene.

"The 34-year-old reportedly entered one of the Albert Street units to seek assistance, before being taken to Trangie Hospital for treatment," a police spokesperson said.

"Shortly after, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District arrived at the hospital and allegedly found the man with a visible laceration to his neck."

Shortly after, at about 7:10pm, police said they located the 21-year-old on Harris Street where he was arrested.

Police established a crime scene outside the unit complex on Albert Street and allegedly located a fold-up knife nearby.

The 21-year-old was taken to Dubbo Police Station.

He was refused bail and faced Dubbo Local Court today, where he was formally refused bail to face Narromine Local Court on Thursday 10 April 2025.

The police spokesperson said they believe the two men are known to each other.

Inquiries are ongoing.
