A man and a woman have been charged after a supermarket worker was stabbed at a store northwest of Sydney.
Emergency services rushed to the supermarket on Garfield Road in Riverstone, 30 miles northwest of Sydney, about 4.15pm on Sunday after reports a man had been stabbed.
Police arrived within minutes and found a 47-year-old male employee with stab wounds to his side and chest.
The man underwent emergency surgery at Westmead Hospital and remains in a stable condition.
Police seized a knife at the scene, which was sent for forensic examination.
A 31-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman were arrested and taken to Riverstone police station for questioning.
