A man is expected to be charged on Friday over the alleged fatal stabbing of a building manager in Pyrmont on Thursday morning.
Police arrested Jiwad Jiwad, 41, in Parramatta, 12 hours after he allegedly stabbed Bashir Zaheer, 44, at the Mirage apartment complex on Bunn Street.

"Police have been told that the man, a building employee, had been involved in an altercation with a man known to him prior to being stabbed," NSW Police said in a statement on Thursday night.
"A crime scene has been established which is continuing to be examined by specialist forensic police. Detectives have established Strike Force Azoic to investigate the man’s death."
Mr Jiwad was taken to Westmead Hospital following his arrest, and is expected to speak to investigators on Friday morning.
Paramedic Nadia Tomlinson said Mr Zaheer, who died in the hotel's lobby, had suffered a "very confronting trauma".
"These events are quite confronting for crews, when they turn up," Ms Tomlinson said.
"The patient had multiple stab wounds, mostly to the upper torso."
