Two teens have been charged and more arrests are expected after a stabbing in Sydney's west earlier this month.

Emergency services descended on Melton Street North in Silverwater at about 2.40am on Saturday, March 5 after reports a man could be heard screaming outside.

A man was found with stab wounds to his chest, back and abdomen and rushed to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition.

Police and sniffer dogs scoured the area but nobody was found nearby.

Investigators had a breakthrough on Friday morning, arresting two 17-year-old boys at homes in Lidcombe and Birrong.
