The woman was taken to Innisfail Hospital, and later flown to Townsville Hospital with non-life threatening stabbing injuries.

About 11pm on Saturday, the 32-year-old man arrived at the Innisfail Police Station with a wound to his hand. He was taken to Innisfail Hospital for treatment, police said,

Police later attended the property in Innisfail where they declared a crime scene.
