An 18-year-old man was slashed with a machete during a violent brawl between two groups of teenagers at Mordialloc Pier in Melbourne just before 6pm. The victim fled through a children's park to a nearby supermarket where emergency services were called, sustaining deep stab wounds to his wrists. Three teenage boys aged 15 and 16 were arrested in relation to a separate brawl inside the supermarket and later released, while local families call for increased police presence during warmer months following repeated incidents of beach violence.
