A young man is fighting for life and nine men are being questioned by police after an alleged stabbing in Melbourne’s south-west early this morning.
Emergency services were called to Mossfiel Drive in Hoppers Crossing at 3.40am, where they found the 23-year-old injured.
He was taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition and nine men were arrested at the scene.
Police are also investigating a suspected stabbing at 4am, after a 16-year-old boy walked into a hospital in Werribee with serious injuries.
Officers said it is unclear at this stage where the second alleged stabbing occurred.
“Investigations are ongoing into the circumstances of both incidents, which police believe are targeted at this stage,” Victoria Police said.
“Detectives are working to establish whether the two incidents are linked.”
