A man has been charged after a woman was allegedly stabbed while walking to church in Elizabeth Bay.

The 44-year-old woman was walking along Roslyn Street on her way to midnight mass on Tuesday night when she was approached by a man who allegedly stabbed her in the abdomen.

The woman was treated by NSW ambulance paramedics before being taken to St Vincent's Hospital, where she is reported to be in stable condition.

Witnesses alerted police and followed the man to a block of units in Ward Avenue at Potts Point where he was arrested.

A 38-year-old Potts Point man was taken to Kings Cross Police Station where he charged with one count of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He was refused bail and will appear in Parramatta Bail Court on Wednesday via video link.
