A WOMAN was viciously stabbed more than 30 times in a bizarre attack in Perth's south-eastern suburbs just after 11am.
Her male attacker, believed to be her partner, then turned the knife on himself.
The savage injuries were inflicted just seconds after the couple's truck ploughed into a ute at the junction of Gosnells Rd West and Lewis Rd, in Martin, about 11.10am.
Horrified witnesses said the woman, aged in her 20s, got out of the truck and fled across the road before the man chased her, repeatedly ramming the knife into her chest, neck and legs before she collapsed.
Residents said the man appeared "out of control".
"I heard a bang and ran out to see the truck had hit the ute," said Ron, who did not want his surname published.
"The guy had jumped out and he was stabbing the girl. She was saying 'Don't, don't'.
"I rang 000 and grabbed four towels to retain the bleeding. She was in a terrible way. It was frenzied."
Ian Garrett, the driver of the ute, said the truck appeared out of nowhere before it slammed into his vehicle.
"It hit me (and) I saw him come from the right side with a knife. It looked like a small hunting knife," Mr Garrett said.
Forensic officers assessed the blood-splattered footpath.
The woman was taken to Royal Perth Hospital where she remained in a stable condition yesterday afternoon.
The man was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital where he is under police guard.
