A man has been charged after allegedly stabbing another man at Parramatta on Monday.

Just after 4pm, a 46-year-old man was sitting on a seat in Church Street Mall.

A 36-year-old man armed with a knife approached him, allegedly stabbing him in the stomach.

Emergency services were called and rushed the victim to hospital.

He’s undergone surgery on a large stomach wound and a cut to his hand and is in a stable condition.

The alleged attacker was arrested and has been charged.

He’s been refused bail and will face Parramatta Local Court today.

Police say the men know each other.
