A young man has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing another man to death during a fight in a beachfront suburb.

The 20-year-old was arrested on Monday night after emergency services were called to a property on Buff Point Avenue in Buff Point, a suburb on the NSW Central Coast, over reports of an assault at about 8pm.

He and a 42-year-old man got into an altercation, during which the older man was allegedly stabbed. Police said the two men knew each other.

Paramedics attempted to treat the 42-year-old, but he could not be saved.

The 20-year-old was arrested nearby and taken to the Gosford Police Station, where police charged him with murder.

He spent the night behind bars and will appear in court on Tuesday.
