A GRIFFITH man who underwent emergency surgery after being stabbed in the bowel during an altercation on Saturday night remains in a serious but stable condition.
When contacted by The Area News yesterday, a Griffith Base Hospital spokesperson said the 33-year-old man had been transferred from the intensive care unit (ICU) into a ward where he was being closely monitored.
At about 9.30pm on Saturday, he was allegedly stabbed by another 33-year-old man during an altercation at a Canal Street address.
The alleged offender was arrested by police and was granted bail at Griffith Bail Court yesterday.
He faces a charge of reckless wounding and will front Griffith Local Court today.
A section of Canal Street was blocked off by police on Saturday night for three hours while forensic officers and detectives gathered evidence.
The victim has not yet given a statement to police.
