FATAL STABBING AT HILLSIDE
■ Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the fatal stabbing of a man in Hillside on Friday morning (Oct. 4). Emergency services were called to reports that a man had been stabbed at a Chris Court address about 6.50am. When police arrived they located a male on the front lawn of the property, with critical injuries. Officers attempted CPR but the man sadly died at the scene. They were then confronted by another man armed with an edged weapon. Police attempted to negotiate with the man before he advanced toward them. Officers discharged a firearm and the male was struck to the lower body. He was taken to hospital under police guard and was in a critical but stable condition. A female occupant of the address who witnessed the incident was taken to hospital as a precaution. Police are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident, and it is believed those involved were known to each other. Homicide Squad detectives will investigate the death of the male. Armed Crime Squad will investigate the firearm incident with oversighted by Professional Standards Command, as per protocol when a police firearm is discharged.

● Police want to speak with this man
■ Police are seeking assistance from the public with an investigation into the theft of a car in Braybrook. It is understood on July 26, a 19-year-old Melton West woman was sitting in the passenger seat of a car at an industrial address on Chewton St, Braybrook about 6.30am. An unknown man has placed himself in the driver’s seat before driving off with the victim still inside. Officers were told the car travelled along Chewton St, Evans St and Ballarat Rd towards Sunshine. Police were told the victim attempted to jump out of the car along Ballarat Rd whilst being driven erratically but was unsuccessful. The car then slowed down along Hampshire Rd, where the victim has managed to jump out. The woman was not physically injured. Police recovered the car outside a residential address on Elphinstone St, Footscray West on July 28. Investigators have released video footage and an image of the man they believed may be able to assist with their enquiries. He is described as Caucasian in appearance, in his early 20s with a short buzz cut wearing a blue and maroon hoodie at the time of incident.
