A teenager was charged with murder at Port Macquarie after a man had been stabbed to death on Horton Street.

The stabbing took place during a fight on Sunday. At around 1:40 am, four men got involved in a brawl outside a bank. The 16-year-old boy allegedly stabbed a 25-year-old man in his chest for a number of times and then drove off with his friend in a ute. Witnesses on the New South Wales mid-north coast called emergency services to help the victim, ABC News reported. Paramedics treated the injured man who was rushed to Port Macquarie hospital. The man passed away a couple of hours later. The 16-year-old boy was eventually arrested. Another 18-year-old was arrested when he went to Kempsey Police Station at around 2 pm. He was charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

Both the accused are expected to appear on court on Monday. The 16-year-old will appear in a children's court while he had been refused bail. He was also arrested when he went to the police station. Detectives conducted search warrants at the premises of South Kempsey and Dondingalong. They seized a red-coloured Ford ute along with other items for forensic investigation.

Port Macquarie News earlier reported that police had been searching for the couple of men during the early hours on Sunday after the fatal stabbing. According to police media, the 25-year-old man who was fatally stabbed was attempted to be resuscitated. "Police received a call to a stabbing at 1.40am on Horton Street Port Macquarie. Attending police tried to resuscitate the man who was also treated by attending local paramedics," the spokesperson said, "The man was transported to Port Macquarie Base Hospital but died about two hours later."

The wanted men were described to be "Caucasian in appearance." It was also declared that they belonged to late teens or early 20s. The police information later turned out to be correct as the suspected people arrested were in the latter part of their teens. If anyone has any information regarding the incident, they are advised to contact the local police station. Alternatively, they can also call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
