SA man extradited to Qld over stabbing

A South Australian man who allegedly stabbed a young mother holding a baby after he attacked her partner has been extradited to Queensland.

The 35-year-old allegedly attacked the couple at their Kuttabul home, near Mackay, in the early hours of Monday.

It's alleged he stabbed the man in the backyard before entering the house and stabbing the 21-year-old woman twice in her chest, causing her to drop her baby.

Police say he then flew back to Adelaide, where he was arrested on Monday afternoon.

He's charged with attempted murder, entering a dwelling with intent, and acts intended to disable and assault.

He's due to face the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Saturday via videolink from the Mackay watch house.
