Remember me
A man has died after an alleged stabbing at a house in Sydney's Inner West.
Police were called to a property on Spring Street at Concord following a concern for welfare report about 12.10pm on Sunday.
Emergency workers discovered a man inside with a single stab wound to his chest.
The man, in his 30s, was first treated by police before NSW Ambulance paramedics stepped in, however, he sadly died at the scene.
Another man, 41, was arrested at the home and transported to Burwood Police Station where he will next be interviewed about what happened.
Evidence bags were seen being taken out of the home by officers working the scene before the man was removed from the property in handcuffs with a paper bag over his hands.
It is understood that he will be charged later Sunday night.
A crime scene has since been established at the home and detectives are now investigating the incident.

It's understood the arrested man lived at the house with his partner and the victim had visited the property.
Superintendent Christine McDonald said detectives are looking into whether or not the alleged stabbing happed when an argument broke out between the parties.
'This level of violence is completely unnecessary,' Superintendent McDonald said, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
'This is a terrible incident ... you go to someone's house on a Sunday afternoon for whatever reason, and this occurs. It's not something that I'm sure the victim was expecting would happen, and now multiple lives have been ruined by this incident.'
Others who lived on the street said they were shocked to find out what had happened.
'We've known these people for years and they've always been very lovely,' one neighbour told 9 News. 'My mum sometimes walked the dog with them.'
'This is terrible to happen in a nice quiet neighbourhood,' another said.
The arrested man's 47-year-old partner is helping officers with their inquiries but is not under arrest.
Police had attended the property after a concern for welfare report was made, with neighbours saying they have not had any trouble with residents in the past

It is unclear why the deceased had been visiting the couple at the time of the incident.
The three are understood to have been friends for eight years and the attack did not appear to have been premeditated, Superintendent McDonald said.
Both the victim and the 41-year-old had been known to detectives prior to this due to minor traffic offences and other matters, she added.
Anyone with information that can shed light on what may have happened has been asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
