Four teenagers were arrested last night following a stabbing in the Bunnings Broadmeadows car park.
Police were called to the Bunnings car park on Pearcedale Parade following reports of a stabbing and a fight between males at about 7:30pm.
A 40-year-old man and an 18-year-old boy, both from Glenroy, were found at the scene with suspected stab wounds and were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses reported about four or five teenagers were seen running from the scene.
The Air Wing responded and sighted the youths entering a Fir Close, Broadmeadows address.
Detectives and Critical Incident Response Team members attended the property, arresting an 18-year-old and three 19-year-old boys.
Officers have been told the two Glenroy victims made their way to the carpark to confront the group of teens after the teenage victim’s air pods had been stolen during a robbery at a nearby shopping centre at about 6:15pm.
The pair, who didn’t report the robbery to the police, used the Apple ‘Find My’ application to track the location of the air pods.
It has since been discovered a fifth boy, aged 14, was also injured during the fight. He has been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The boy will also be interviewed about the incident.
A 19-year-old from Craigieburn has been charged with causing serious injury with intention in circumstances of gross violence, affray and robbery.
The 18-year-old from Meadow Heights has been charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury and affray.
The pair have been held over to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today. Police will seek remand.
The remaining two 19-year-olds, from Coolaroo and Broadmeadows, have been bailed to appear before Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court on June 17.
One of the pair was charged with affray and the other was charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury, affray, assault by kicking and robbery.
