A 19-year-old man has allegedly snuck into the house of a 60-year-old women and stabbed her in the neck and the head, while she was asleep in her bed, on Saturday night, in the town of Woolooga.

She fought off the intruder and sought help from one of her neighbours, before being taken Gympie Hospital for treatment to head and neck injures, which are believed to be non-life-threatening.

The Woolooga man has also been charged with burglary and wounding. He is expected to appear in Gympie Magistrates Court on Monday. Police say the man was known to the woman and no one else was in the house at the time.
