“When we arrived at the scene it was very alarming – these were brutal attacks,” NSW Ambulance Duty Operations Manager, Inspector Nathan Sheraton, said in a statement.
“Wounds like this can cause an extensive amount of damage and often we can see the extent of damage done – so it is very concerning whenever we are called to jobs like this”
The injured men were treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to Westmead Hospital.
NSW Ambulance said an 18-year-old man was treated for a stab wound to his neck and is in a critical condition
A 22-year-old man was treated for stab wounds to his torso and is in a critical condition
