Police are appealing for witnesses after an alleged stabbing at a Broadmeadows supermarket last night.
Police were called to the Pascoe Vale Road store after reports of a brawl between approximately 10-15 youths about 6.20pm.
A 16-year-old Dallas boy was located with an alleged stab wound to the upper body, and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Superintendent Peter Lardner said the boy’s condition has since improved, and is no longer life-threatening.
Superintendent Lardner said a video circling social media of the aftermath of the alleged stabbing showed “heartening” behaviour from the Broadmeadows community.
“Members of the public, who didn’t know this youth at all, have actually gone to his aid,” he said.
