A woman and a man have been allegedly stabbed outside a busy Westfield shopping centre in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs.
The pair were allegedly attacked while they waited at a bus stop outside Westfield Eastgardens on Bunnerong Road in Maroubra about 11.40am on Saturday.
NewsWire said the fight is believed to have broken out during an argument between the two women regarding their heritage.
A mother was left shaken after receiving a harrowing call from her children who were visiting the shopping centre at the time.
‘This is so scary… My girls took [the] bus to Eastgardens for a movie,’ she posted to social media.
‘Never been so frightened and helpless when they call me scared, not know what was going on.’
Initial reports suggest the female victim is pregnant.
A 41-year-old woman was arrested at the scene by officers.
