The incident occurred on Waratah Road in Valley Heights, where emergency services were called after reports of three children and a woman suffering from stab wounds inside a vehicle.
Officers from the Blue Mountains Police Area Command said that several members of the public provided first aid to the woman and the three children before contacting emergency services on Triple Zero, the Australian equivalent of 911.

All three are currently in critical condition.
The woman is believed to be in her 40s, and the two children are thought to be under five years old. A crime scene has been established at the location, and police have stated they are not currently looking for any other individuals involved in the incident.
