About 11.20am on Wednesday, October 24, emergency services were called to a home following reports two people had been injured in a violent altercation.
A 66-year-old woman and a 78-year-old man were treated at the scene by paramedics, before being taken to Kempsey Hospital for treatment to serious stab wounds.
A short time later a 34-year-old man, known to the couple, was arrested a short distance away.
Officers from Mid North Coast Police District arrested the man and conveyed him to Kempsey Police Station.
He was later charged with two counts of wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and malicious damage.
The man was refused bail and will appear at Port Macquarie Local Court on Thursday.
The injured couple were treated at Kempsey Hospital and then transferred to Port Macquarie Hospital where they both remain in serious but stable conditions.
