Two people have died and a third was in a critical condition after two separate suspected stabbings in Melbourne at the weekend.
Police are investigating both incidents, which unfolded early Sunday morning roughly within an hour of each other.
The first unfolded about 2.30am in Coburg North, after a teenager was assaulted with an “edged weapon” on Elizxjmtzywabeth St, a Victoria Police spokesman said.
The teen died at the scene.
Then, about 3.20am, emergency services were called to Bourke St, near the Harbour Esplanade, following reports of a brawl between a group of men.
Officers located two men with stab wounds upon arrival.
Both men were rushed to hospital but one man died a short time later.
The second man remains in a critical condition.
Police have urged anyone with information or CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward.
