The 45-year-old underwent surgery for multiple stab wounds to her chest and arm on Wednesday morning after she presented to Tamworth hospital about 7.30am.

On Thursday, Oxley Chief Inspector Phil O’Reilly told The Leader there had been no charges laid in relation to the knifing.

“We’re continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident,” he said.

“The is victim is assisting us with our inquiries.”

Brewery Lane re-opened to traffic on Wednesday afternoon after specialist police finished scouring the property where they believe the stabbing occurred.

Chief Inspector O’Reilly said investigations were continuing as police probed what unfolded before the woman was taken to hospital by a friend.

He said police had made inroads into the case, following investigations on Wednesday.

“There is a solid line of inquiry that we are following and investigations continue,” he said.

Police have earlier said they believe the parties are known to one another, and it was not a random attack.

The serious nature of the woman’s injuries sparked the police investigation, before the crime scene was discovered.

Police door-knocked the neighbourhood and seized several items of interest including clothing from the house, where blood stains littered the driveway.
