A teenager has been rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries after several revellers were stabbed at an out-of-control party in Melbournes CBD.
Police first became aware of the situation when they were flagged down by a 19-year-old man about 2.20am on Monday after he had walked to Southern Cross train station with serious stab wounds.
The teen told police he had been at a party at a short term rental property in Spencer Street when a fight broke out and he had sustained several stab wounds.
A police spokeswoman said the man was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
She said while speaking to the victim, police officers became aware of several other victims, possibly up to five, who had self-presented to local hospitals also with stab wounds.
