Three men are seriously injured after two separate machete attacks occur in Melbourne’s central business district over the weekend, according to multiple outlets. The incidents take place in and around the city centre, with one report placing an attack near the intersection of Elizabeth and Flinders Streets. Another outlet describes the night as involving two machete attacks occurring close together. In total, the attacks leave three men with serious injuries. The reports also note that machetes are banned in Australia, with one outlet stating the weapons have been prohibited for about a year. Police are responding to the incidents, and the accounts focus on the timing, location in the CBD, and the severity of the injuries. While all sources agree on the number of injured and that there are two separate attacks, they do not provide additional shared details on suspects, arrests, motives, or specific circumstances beyond the attacks occurring in the Melbourne CBD over the same weekend period.
