Bloodied teenagers are patched up on the side of the road after ‘mass stabbing’ at a Sydney park 

‘I heard screaming and shouting… then sirens’: The bloody moment paramedics save teenagers who were left for dead after a mass stabbing at a quiet Sydney park – as attacker, 34, remains in hospital under police guard

  • Six teenagers were stabbed during altercation on Sydney’s Upper North Shore
  • A 34-year-old man allegedly stabbed the teenagers who were aged 15 – 19
  • All seven were treated at scene before being taken to hospitals across Sydney 

A group of bloodied teenagers had to be patched up on the side of the road before they were rushed to hospital after a mass stabbing at a quiet Sydney park.

Police allege a 34-year-old man went on a stabbing rampage after coming across the youths partying at Cameron Park, in Turramurra, just before midnight on Saturday.

Paramedics raced to the scene to take some teenagers – including a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy with deep gashes to their neck – to hospital for urgent surgery.

Other youths were left dripping blood on the footpath as paramedics bandaged their stab wounds, before piling them into ambulances for further treatment.

Business owners in the wealthy Upper North Shore suburb told Daily Mail Australia the park had become a popular hangout spot for rowdy teenagers in recent months.

An elderly woman said she was too scared to walk past the dimly-lit area at night.

Local teenager Alexandra Kemp told Daily Mail Australia she missed the melee by minutes. 

‘I walked by the park at about 12 last night, it must have been just after it happened. 

‘I saw 5 or 6 police vehicles and two ambulances and some kids around. It was a big scene,’ she said. 

Police have been told a man allegedly stabbed the teenagers, who were aged between 15 and 19, a number of times during the altercation. 

It’s understood the bloody brawl broke out after the man left a nearby wine and tapas bar. 

The teenagers were all treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospitals across Sydney with a number requiring immediate surgery.

Replay Cafe manager Manni Zantiotis said he was shocked by last night’s violent melee, particularly in the sleepy suburb of Turramurra.

‘One of my customers who lives near the park came in this morning and said he heard shouting and screaming and then next thing he heard was sirens,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.

Restaurant owner Hector Salazar said: ‘Since November I’ve seen heaps of school kids hanging out at the park, especially on weekends.’ 

Lachlan Bois, who lives across the road from the park, said he heard screaming and shouting at 10.30pm and noticed a group of ‘about 15 to 20’ teenagers in the park.
