Horror as two shoppers are stabbed at a bus stop outside a packed Westfield centre in Sydney’s east
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.
Initial reports suggest the female victim is pregnant.
A 41-year-old woman was arrested at the scene by officers.
She was taken to Maroubra Police Station where inquiries are ongoing.
NSW Police said the parties were not believed to be known to each other and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
A crime scene has been established at the Westfield.
NSW Ambulance told Daily Mail Australia that the female victim was in her 20s while the male was in his 30s.

The man went to a local GP for treatment while the woman was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
Both are receiving treatment for minor head injuries and both are in stable conditions.
The latest incident comes as a haunting reminder of the Bondi Junction stabbing last April where six people were killed by 40-year-old Joel Cauchi.
Detective Inspector Amy Scott, who stopped Cauchi on that fateful day, was awarded the NSW Police Commissioner’s Valour Medal.
