The man, who is the cousin of one of the women, was in critical condition for a while, but was stable yesterday morning.
At about 10.45pm on Saturday, police were informed of a fight in Kirkop. Initial investigations showed the fight had started between two women who were neighbours. Two men became involved in the argument and one was stabbed with a pointed weapon.
Duty magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera appointed various experts to help in the inquiry.
