A Boddam resident was first to attend an alleged stabbing across the road from her house.
The eyewitness has described the scene of the incident which resulted in a man being taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Police were called to a property on Dundonnie Street in the village just before midnight.
Two men, aged 26 and 26, have been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged attack.
The 30-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where his injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening.
The neighbour told the Press and Journal she was sleeping when the incident started to unfold.
The woman received a phone call that she initially ignored.
However, when she heard someone knocking on her door she answered her phone.
She said: “It was very scary you seen this kind of thing on TV but you are never actually prepared to see it in real life.
“I thought it was a prank at first.”
Neighbour went to property to help
She explained that she went out to the property after being asked to help.
She was met with a bedroom door which had a hole in it and a mattress propped up against it like a barricade.
She moved the stuff out the way and was confronted by a lot of blood in the room.
Police officers were still at the scene this morning as their investigations into the incident continue.
