A Sydney high school student has been stabbed twice in the back while travelling on a suburban train.
The 15-year-old boy was attacked as the train pulled into Strathfield station, in Sydney's inner west, at about 3pm (AEST) today, police said.
The teenager managed to make his way to the stationmaster's office where he was given first aid until ambulance and police arrived.
The youth, from west suburban Fairfield, was taken to The Children's Hospital at Westmead where his condition was described as stable.
He will undergo surgery overnight, police said.
A crime scene was established on the train at North Sydney station, where it had travelled after leaving Strathfield.
A number of witnesses to the stabbing were being interviewed by police.
