Emergency crews treated a 22-year-old man, who was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition, New South Wales state police said in a statement.
There is no ongoing risk to the community, they said.
A University of Sydney spokesperson said a police operation was under way on its Camperdown campus and that police would remain on campus while investigations continue, reported Reuters.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, numerous police cars and ambulances quickly arrived at Western Avenue, which cuts through the centre of the campus, following reports of the stabbing incident on the morning of July 2.
Several university buildings were placed on lockdown as police established the crime scene.
Police were informed that the 14-year-old boy had left the scene and boarded a bus in Parramatta Road.
They later located him near Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where he was taken into custody.
