Three males, including two teenagers, have been taken into custody following a reported incident where a man was stabbed in the head during a break-in at a Melbourne home in the north-east region, while toddlers were present.
Three other adults were also injured and taken to hospital following the attack at a home on Oxford Street in Kew East around 4am today.
Five offenders allegedly smashed their way through a window of the house then confronted a husband and wife they had woken up.
The intruders allegedly locked the wife in a room with her sleeping two and three-year-old children, then took her husband to another room where he suffered numerous stab wounds to his head, face, and arms.
Four of the offenders then allegedly got into the victim’s BMW, and the fifth offender left in the vehicle all the offenders arrived in.
The stolen BWM was found dumped on Christie Street in Deer Park.
Three men were arrested a short time later on Hamilton Street in Deer Park.
The husband, a 39-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A 34-year-old woman was treated for minor injuries.
Two other adults, aged 69 and 70, who were in the house at the time were also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The two children and a fifth adult were not injured.
Authorities are currently questioning two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, a 24-year-old man from Caroline Springs, and continue efforts to locate additional suspects involved in the crime.
