NSW Police said the brawl spilled outside the shopping centre at one point.

Police were called and arrived at the scene to find a man aged in his 20s with stab wounds to his upper body.

Emergency responders moved everyone to the back of the store and held them there while working to treat the man’s injuries.

Eventually, customers were let outside, with police snapping a picture of everyone’s ID to form a witness list. 

He was taken to Westmead Hospital with critical injuries.

A younger man, believed to be aged in his early teens, was treated for a slash wound to his hand and face.
