A 46-year-old man has been taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition after being stabbed several times during an alleged attempted home invasion at Victoria Point, southeast of Brisbane, early Tuesday morning.
Queensland Police said emergency services were called to a property on Albatross Street shortly before 1:30am on August 25 after a group of armed people allegedly attempted to break into the residence. Initial investigations indicate that the resident confronted the group during the incident.
The man was allegedly stabbed several times before the group fled the property. Paramedics treated the injured resident at the scene before transporting him to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane. Police said his condition was critical but stable.
The incident has prompted a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. Detectives are working to establish who was involved, why the group targeted the property and whether the incident was specifically directed at the resident.
Police have not confirmed the identities of the alleged offenders and no arrests have been publicly announced in the information available at the time of this report.
Residents in the area were reportedly disturbed by the incident. A nearby resident told media that he heard loud banging and shouting during the early hours. The witness also reported seeing at least two people around the victim's BMW before they ran from the area.
Investigators are appealing to members of the public who may have witnessed suspicious activity around Albatross Street or surrounding streets around the time of the incident. Police are particularly interested in CCTV, security-camera recordings, dashcam footage or mobile-phone footage that could help identify the people involved or establish their movements before and after the alleged attack.
Authorities are also investigating whether the incident was a targeted offence. This means detectives are examining whether the resident was specifically selected by the offenders or whether the circumstances were different. Police have not yet released a confirmed motive.
The attack has raised concerns among local residents following the violent confrontation at the residential property. However, investigators have not indicated that there is an ongoing threat to the wider community based on the information currently released.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is being urged to contact Queensland Police. People with relevant footage are encouraged to provide it to investigators.
The investigation remains ongoing, and further details may be released as detectives establish the full circumstances of the incident.
The allegations reported here have not been tested in court, and any person identified or charged in connection with the incident would be entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.
