A teenage girl was charged over an alleged Port Macquarie stabbing that left a 72-year-old woman seriously injured.
Emergency services were called to the property in Brierley Avenue after 9.30pm on Saturday, August 15.
The woman was treated at the scene for a stab wound before being taken to Port Macquarie Hospital in a serious condition.
She was later flown to John Hunter Hospital for further treatment.
The girl, who was 15 at the time, was arrested at the scene and charged with reckless wounding involving domestic violence.
She was initially refused bail before being granted conditional bail when she appeared in court the following day.
Port Macquarie Children’s Court outcome
The matter was finalised during a closed hearing at Port Macquarie Children’s Court on Monday.
The reckless wounding charge was dismissed on mental health grounds s14(1)(a) of the Mental Health and Cognitive Impairment Forensic Provisions Act (NSW) 2020 into the care of a responsible person and no conviction was recorded.
A dismissal does not amount to a finding that the allegation was proven or disproven.
The young person cannot be identified because she was under 18 when the proceedings began.
