It is alleged a man and woman were set upon and repeatedly assaulted and stabbed by a gang of attackers in a terrifying home invasion.

ACT Policing said the woman answered the door of her home in Conder around 8 am on 4 May 2024 before a man allegedly pushed his way inside and stabbed her several times.

This alleged attacker and three other men are then accused of assaulting a male occupant who also lived in the home, stabbing him as well.

It is alleged the four fled the scene a short time after the attack.

When paramedics arrived, they took the two victims to hospital with what police say were “significant injuries”.

After a police investigation, an 18-year-old man was arrested in Arndell Park, a suburb in Western Sydney, on Tuesday (28 May) and extradited to the ACT.

He was charged with aggravated burglary, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon with intent.

The teenager faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday (29 May).

“Investigations into the identities of the other men involved in the incident are continuing,” a police spokesperson said.
