### Semaphore Park man charged after woman allegedly stabbed
A 73-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a 47-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted at a home in **Semaphore Park, Adelaide**, early Wednesday morning, 9 September 2026. South Australia Police said officers were called to an address on **Eagle Court** shortly after 2am following reports that a woman had been stabbed.
Western District police patrols attended the property and located the 47-year-old woman suffering from **minor injuries**. Police arrested a 73-year-old Semaphore Park man at the scene without incident. Authorities have not released further details about the relationship between the two people or what led to the alleged assault.
The man has been charged with **aggravated assault** and **threats to kill**. Police refused him bail, and he was expected to appear in the **Port Adelaide Magistrates Court** later on Wednesday. The charges remain allegations and will be dealt with through the court process.
The incident occurred during the early hours of the morning, when emergency services were called to the Semaphore Park property. Police have confirmed that the woman sustained only minor injuries, although the circumstances surrounding the alleged stabbing remain the subject of an investigation.
The case has resulted in a significant police response in the western suburbs of Adelaide. Investigators will work to establish exactly what happened inside the Eagle Court property and the circumstances that preceded the alleged assault. Further evidence, witness accounts and other information may form part of the investigation and subsequent court proceedings.
The charges of aggravated assault and threats to kill indicate that police are treating the allegations seriously. However, at this stage, the available police information provides only limited details about the incident itself. No additional claims about motive or the precise sequence of events should be assumed until they are established through the investigation or court proceedings.
The incident is one of several police matters reported in South Australia on Wednesday morning. South Australia Police also reported an **aggravated robbery at Marino**, where a man was allegedly approached by two people riding scooters late Tuesday night. Police said a knife was produced and several personal belongings were allegedly taken. That incident is separate from the Semaphore Park assault.
For residents in Semaphore Park and the surrounding western suburbs, the incident has brought renewed attention to police activity in the area. Police have not indicated that there is any continuing public threat connected with the Eagle Court incident, and the accused man was arrested at the scene without incident.
The investigation remains ongoing. The accused man is due to face the **Port Adelaide Magistrates Court**, where the allegations will be considered through the judicial process. Until the matter is determined by the court, the man is legally presumed innocent.
