Eighteen-year-old woman stabbed in the back in Sydney

Police are searching for three men after a young woman was stabbed in Sydney’s south-west.

Emergency services were called to a home on Curl Curl Place, Woodbine, shortly after midnight following reports an 18-year-old woman had been stabbed in the back with a small knife.

She was taken to Liverpool Hospital and is expected to undergo surgery later today.

A witness told 9NEWS three men aggressively knocked on her door around 12.30pm last night, allegedly asking whether the victim lived next door.

“They left…I heard a scream about 40 seconds later,” she said.

The trio of alleged offenders then fled the scene.

They are believed to all be aged in their early to mid-teens and were all wearing dark hooded jumpers at the time of the alleged attack.  

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
