Striking video has emerged of the moment a man was arrested after a shocking early morning stabbing brawl that left three women in hospital.

The footage shows police officers surrounding a shirtless man man before he is lead away.

The arrest, which took place at Hackham West in Adelaide’s south, follows a brutal fight that left three women with stab wounds.

Police were called to the altercation at Radom Court just after 4am on Friday.

Paramedics took a 21-year-old woman with multiple injuries to Flinders Medical Centre in a serious but stable condition

Another 21-year-old woman and a 51-year-old woman were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police said the man and the 21-year-old woman who suffered minor injuries were now both in custody.

“Following investigations, police have arrested a 35-year-old Maitland man and a 21-year-old Hackham West woman and charged them with aggravated assault cause harm,” police said on Friday afternoon.

“They will face court at a later date.

“Police wish to reassure the local community that this was not a random incident and all people involved are known to each other.”

The brawl broke out at Radom Court, and the intersection of Majorca Rd and Warsaw Crescent was closed to traffic while police examined the crime scene.

The incident adds to a sudden blast of brutal knife violence that has hit Australia this week.

On Wednesday, real estate agent Julie Seed was allegedly murdered in a random daylight stabbing in the Adelaide suburb of Plympton.

On Thursday, Brisbane was hit with two stabbings.

Paramedics rushed a 46-year-old man to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane just after 8am in a serious condition.

A man was also found at a petrol station with multiple stab wounds in the suburb of Annerley.

A short time later that morning, a woman was allegedly murdered in a stabbing attack in the Brisbane suburb of Hamilton.

Queensland police were called to an Oxford St address in the leafy suburb east of the CBD after reports of a disturbance.

They allege a 55-year-old woman entered a unit and stabbed the 43-year-old resident.

The alleged victim sustained several serious stab wounds and was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, where she later died, police said.

“Police will allege the two women were known to each other but not in a familial setting,” the police said.
