Sydney, Feb 25 (IANS) Three males have been hospitalised and four teenagers arrested following a stabbing attack in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Police said on Tuesday that officers were called to reports of a fight and stabbing at a retail store car park in the suburb of Broadmeadows — 15 km north of central Melbourne — at about 7:30 pm local time on Monday, Xinhua news agency reported.
Officers attending the scene found two men — aged 40 and 18 — with suspected stab wounds. They were both taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses told the police that a group of teenagers were seen running from the scene.
The police air wing was deployed to the area and spotted the group entering an address.

A fifth member of the group, aged 14, was also injured during the fight and was hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries. The police said they expected to interview him in relation to the incident.
The police said in a statement that the fight broke out when the 40-year-old and 18-year-old attended the car park looking for a pair of headphones that had been stolen at a nearby shopping center earlier in the evening.
One of the 19-year-old assailants has been charged with causing serious injury with intention in circumstances of gross violence, affray and robbery. The first of the three charges carries a maximum sentence of 20 years of imprisonment.
The 18-year-old was charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury and affray and the other two 19-year-olds with affray and with recklessly causing injury, affray, assault by kicking and robbery.
