A man has been arrested after a stabbing in a remote Aboriginal community which left one man dead.

A 35-year-old man suffered serious chest injuries after being stabbed at a residence in the tiny community of Laramba in Central Australia, 200km northwest of Alice Springs, on Friday.

He died a short time later at the local medical clinic, Northern Territory police said.

Police were called in from surrounding centres, including Ti Tree, Yuendumu and Alice Springs, with a 39-year-old man later arrested in Yuendumu, 140km west of the stabbing incident.

Laramba is a remote community in Central Australia, with a population of less than 100 people, according to the 2021 census.

Yuendumu is a larger centre with a population of 740 people.
