Two people have been taken to hospital overnight after an alleged machete attack in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, days after a fatal stabbing in a separate incident in the city's outer north.

Police allege a 25-year-old Manor Lakes man armed with a machete attacked a man and a woman near the corner of Queen and Flinders streets just after 2:30am on Monday.

The woman in her 20s was transported to hospital in a serious condition with upper body injuries.

The man, believed to be in his 20s, was treated for mid-body injuries and transported to hospital in a stable condition.

Footage from the scene shows multiple pairs of high heels, along with handbags and other personal items, strewn across the street.

"A ban on machetes also came into effect in September, involving an amnesty where the government said thousands of knives were handed in at machete disposal bins."

Melbourne is ground zero for the Auzzie government dumping off African turds in the country. African gangs terrorize the shops and beach goers. But don’t dare point out that nearly all crime is from African turd gangsters... That’s racist. It has been sanitized as the “African gangs terrorize”moral panic.” Which the government said was muh racism even though Sudanese gangs were rampaging. Crime stats show the overwhelming percentage of criminals are Africans but the government says, “it is nuanced.” And the ONE street attack the government run news agency dare show by “young people” is one white girl whompushed another girl on a street corner acting as if it is all white kids chopping people up with machetes and gang robbing stores or beating white people on the beach. Import turds, become a sewer.

The Australian government will now do the exact opposite of what needs to be done. Perhaps they’ll raid homes looking for machetes and other sharp objects.

But no “immigrant” homes, please. That would be racist.

I thought that was sarcasm but the article really says it.

The identities of the perpetrators seem to be withheld, despite the supposed legislationabout adult treatment fr young criminals. To protect themselves, the public needs to know what the offenders look like. White kids gone wild? Or the offspring of recent “South Asian” immigrants?

Regarding the second machete attack, from the link below:

The group allegedly threw rocks at the man’s home in Croydon at about 10.30pm on Monday before the 64-year-old yelled at them. The group left the scene before they returned at 2.30am.

The man and his partner called police and said they were told there were no units to respond. The tradie took matters into his own hands and chased them around the corner in his car to Manchester Road in Mooroolbark.

He was then attacked with a machete.

How do you like that? Australia disarms its citizens. Then there are no police available to respond.

No names of perps in either incident must mean they’re “refugees.”

Until they start chopping up the politicians and police chiefs nothing will change.

WW1 was fought there in Broken Hill. A few muslims shot up the town from a hillside I do believe.
