Man charged following St Albans stabbing

Brimbank Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man following a stabbing in St Albans earlier this year.

It is understood the victim, a 20-year-old man, was working at a supermarket on Main Road East when he was stabbed during a physical altercation about 6.50pm on Friday, 27 June.

Police will allege the victim attempted to stop the other man from leaving the store prior to the altercation occurring.

At the time, he was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Yesterday detectives arrested and charged a 48-year-old man with theft, intentionally cause injury, and affray, along with numerous weapons offences.

The Kings Park man was remanded to appear before Sunshine Magistrates Court on 7 October.
