Melbourne endures 48 hours of violence amid rising crime wave

Melbourne crime news

Melbourne has witnessed a spate of violent incidents within a 48-hour period, including stabbings, home invasions, and shootings across multiple suburbs.

A teenager was stabbed during a brawl at a community event in Broadmeadows, followed by armed home invasions in Brighton and Clyde. In the latter case, two men attempted to break into a family home while armed with knives, terrifying the occupants.



Meanwhile, gunfire was reported at a tobacco store in Glenroy, continuing a wave of attacks linked to an ongoing trade feud.

The violent stretch followed recent assaults and anti-social behaviour on Melbourne’s public transport network, as well as a string of machete attacks and youth crime incidents across the city.

Official data shows Victoria’s crime rate has reached its highest level since 2004, with a 22 percent rise compared to 2017.

Premier Jacinta Allan maintains that new bans on machetes and stricter knife search powers are helping reduce weapon-related incidents, despite criticism from the opposition and concerns over lenient bail decisions for young offenders.

  1. Could this be another of the many benefits of “diversity”, once again? Can’t say I remember European Australians being big on attacking people with machetes?
