00:00Search is on for four masked offenders. Two NSW police believe were armed with

00:08kitchen knives following last night's fatal stabbing here in Mount Druitt that

00:12left one 19 year old dead and another 19 year old fighting for his life in

00:17hospital. Police say at around 10 p.m. last night four offenders dressed in

00:21black with their faces covered by balaclavas approached three men at the

00:25bus interchange at Mount Druitt train station in Sydney's west. Police say

00:30after the four offenders approached those three men one 19 year old was left

00:36with stab wounds to his chest. He was treated by NSW paramedics but died at

00:42the scene. That second 19 year old who is currently in a serious but stable

00:46condition in Westmead Hospital is believed to have been stabbed through the arm

00:51with police going far as saying that that stab wound penetrated his arm and was

00:55able to reach his chest. That third man who is yet to be formally identified is

01:01believed by NSW police to have effectively been an innocent bystander and

01:06is not believed to have been in any way connected. Police have stopped short of

01:11settling on a potential motive but say early investigations lead them to

01:15believe the surviving 19 year old was asked are you six seven by the four masked

01:21offenders before the alleged stabbing. He's currently under sedation at Westmead

01:26Hospital in a serious but stable condition. Two seven six seven is the

01:32postcode of an adjoining area here in Sydney's west that takes in the

01:36neighbourhood of Dooneside. Now Mount Druitt's postcode is two seven seven zero.

01:41Police have stopped short of saying whether or not this could be an escalation of

01:45what police have previously described as Sydney's postcode wars. The male that's in

01:52hospital at the moment has been sedated so we haven't had a chance to speak to

01:56him yet just to confirm those details but our initial reports on the scene was

02:00there was some conversation about are you six seven obviously one of the street

02:04gangs that are out here in Western Sydney and again that's something we'll be

02:07following on. Police say they believe those four masked offenders fled in a

02:12southerly direction across the train tracks here at Mount Druitt train station.

02:17They've been combing the area throughout the morning and have also shut the rail

02:21line as these investigations continue. Police have also discovered a knife

02:26earlier today although it is unconfirmed as to whether that item is in any way

02:31related. Now the two victims are known to police homicide detectives are currently on

02:36scene here joined by local police and New South Wales police have established

02:41strike force coberta as these investigations continue.
