A man in his 20s and a boy were also rushed to hospital from the property in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, at around 6.30pm.
A dog with significant injuries was also found, which the veterinarian later had to tranquilize.
The suspect is believed to have attempted to flee the scene in a car before being apprehended by police nearby.
One resident described how the man showed “no nervousness” when he left the property after the stabbing.
They told Metro: “The suspect came out of the apartment super chilled with his hands in his pockets. It was like nothing happened. He got in the car and drove off, no noise. It was crazy.”
They said the boy ran out the door yelling, “I’ve been stabbed.”
Another witness said: “We saw him get into his car. We were on the balcony saying to the police: ‘He’s over there and he just sped off’.”
A resident of the property told The Sun: “After the emergency services were called I was told the man who stabbed her was on the loose and running around the property.”
A 49-year-old man from Milton Keynes was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder shortly after the incident
Another neighbor told The Sun: “Around 6pm a woman came out on the balcony – screaming: ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe’.”
The neighbor described how the young man ran out of the house and sought refuge with another tenant on the property.
He continued: “The dog ran out covered in blood. In a few minutes there were about 12 ambulances.”
Another shocked witness said doctors treated the bleeding man in the street before taking him to hospital.
He added: “The paramedics were working on him and the other victims were covered with a white tarp.”

One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, previously told The Sun: “It’s humiliating.
“I heard all the ambulances last night, but you don’t expect something like this to happen here. And on Christmas Day of all days.”
A cordon was at the scene throughout Boxing Day and forensics teams were seen entering and walking up the stairs of the block of flats.
Shazna Muzammil, a Conservative councilor on Milton Keynes City Council, said in a statement: “This is a terrible Christmas Day and we are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events at Bletchley.
“Our thoughts are with the families, friends and neighbors of the two women who tragically lost their lives.”
Ms. Muzammil said that those involved in the incident knew each other.
The two injured boys and a man are in a stable condition, Thames Valley Police said.
Locals left flowers and teddy bears at the scene yesterday.
One group attached two bouquets and a gray teddy bear dressed as Santa to the railings around the children’s playground.
A woman in the group said she did not know the victims, but added: “This is a nice area. You don’t expect to see things like this here.”
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “Thames Valley Police’s Serious Crime Unit has launched a homicide investigation following the deaths of two women in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, on Christmas Day.
“Officers were called to a block of flats in Santa Cruz Avenue, Bletchley at around 6.36pm following reports of a stabbing.
“Tragically, a 38-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman both died at the scene.”
Senior Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin, from the Major Crime Squad, added: “Firstly I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the families of the women who have tragically died in this shocking incident.
“We have launched a double homicide investigation that could be of concern to the general public, but we have arrested and are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, and the parties know each other.
“The public will see a heavy police presence in the area while our investigation continues.
“If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our staff and they will do their best to assist you.”
