A Mayfield man, believed to be in his 20s, is in custody after police were called to the scene of the alleged attack in Sturt Crescent on Wednesday night.
Launceston Inspector Darren Hopkins said the women, believed to be 60 and 29, received non-life threatening stab wounds and were taken to hospital by ambulance.
“As a result of an altercation, two women were stabbed and the offender was taken into custody,” he said.
Neighbours said they heard “yelling and screaming” before at least three police cars and an ambulance arrived at the scene about 9pm.
