A 36-year-old man was treated at the scene and taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition. He died shortly after arriving.

The woman, 36, was taken to the same hospital after she was stabbed in the shoulder, but her injuries were not life-threatening.

A 37-year-old man was arrested at the scene in relation to both stabbings, while a 30-year-old woman was taken to Lyell McEwin Hospital for treatment and later arrested.

Police dogs scoured the nearby area before finding a 34-year-old man believed to be involved in the attack at about 10pm. The man was arrested.

Both men and the woman are expected to be charged with murder.

Police believe the three people involved in the stabbing attack knew each other.
