Police investigate a machete fight that breaks out at Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station on Saturday night. Multiple outlets report a violent confrontation involving a group that police say includes up to 10 people. Police state the fighting occurs inside the station, and some of those involved then board a train still armed with machetes.
As a result of the incident, police arrest six people. The reporting indicates at least one man is charged and later bailed, with the matter proceeding through the court process. The Age, Brisbane Times, and Sydney Morning Herald report that the incident leaves a boy in hospital.
While details about the individuals involved vary across reports, the consistent points are the location, the involvement of machetes, the scale of the group, the presence of injuries requiring hospital treatment, and the arrests made by police at or after the incident. Police continue inquiries into the circumstances leading to the fight and the identification and roles of those involved.
