Soldiers Hill man charged with attempted murder in 'domestic violence offence' at Mt Isa

A man has been charged with attempted murder after two people were found with stab wounds in the north-west Queensland community of Mount Isa on Friday night.

Police were called to Burke Street at 10.30pm following reports of a serious assault.

A male in his 40s was located with multiple stab wounds and was transported to the Mount Isa Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, a woman in her 20s was located nearby with multiple stab wounds and was also transported to the Mount Isa Hospital where she remains in a stable condition.

Police arrested a 23-year-old Soldiers Hill man at the scene.

He has been charged with one count each of attempted murder in what Queensland police described as a "domestic violence (DV) offence", an aggravated contravention of a DV order, and acts intended to maim.

He is expected to appear in Mount Isa Magistrates Court on February 13.
