A teenage girl has been stabbed multiple times in front of horrified commuters at a Sydney train station.
Emergency services were called just after 4pm on Thursday on reports of a stabbing at the Rouse Hill station, where paramedics found the 16-year-old with stab wounds to her chest and arms.
"This was a challenging job, not only because of the patient's injuries, but also because it happened at a train station packed with commuters," NSW Ambulance Inspector Andrew McAlpine said in a statement.
"One of the main concerns paramedics have treating stab wounds is internal injuries, so getting her to hospital as quickly as possible was paramount."
The girl was rushed to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition.
Another girl, aged 15, is assisting police with their inquiries.
