Emergency services were called to a park on Burelli Street in Wollongong at around 10pm on Thursday, October 31, after New South Wales Police received reports of a stabbing.

A group of people were allegedly involved in a fight before a 16-year-old boy was stabbed multiple times.

The teenager was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

While the scene of the stabbing was being examined, the investigation into the incident continues.
