ONE person is dead after being stabbed in Melbourne’s Bourke St this afternoon.
Victoria Police Superintendent David Clayton said three people were stabbed this afternoon and one person died at the scene.
Police say they were called to the area about 4.20pm after reports of a car on fire near the corner of Swanston St.
Supt Clayton told reporters that when officers got out of the car, they were confronted by a male brandishing a knife and threatening them. At the same time passers-by were calling out that members of the public had been stabbed.
He said there were no known links to terrorism at this time.
Video has emerged of a man lunging at police with what appears to be a knife before being shot.
In an earlier statement, Victoria Police said a man was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital in critical condition. He is under police guard.
“A small number of people are being treated for stab wounds,” the statement said.
Ambulance Victoria said it assessed three people at the scene, who were then taken to hospital.
One had a neck injury, a second person had a head injury; and the condition and injuries of the third person is unknown.
Police have urged anyone who witnessed the incident or who has footage of what happened to contact them.
The area is currently in lockdown and people are being advised to stay away from the CBD if possible.
They did mention the perp's appearance. He was a man brandishing a knife. Apparently stood out in a crowd.
Crime in not out of control in Victoria. Ask the government.
