Police are investigating a violent attack at a house in Truganina, Melbourne's west, where up to ten people reportedly broke in armed with batons and hunting knives. Three men were stabbed during the incident, with an 18-year-old and a 24-year-old taken to hospital. Authorities believe the attack is linked to a feud between two gangs, and the house had been rented through an online platform. Neighbours expressed concerns about safety in the area, and the property owner has removed the listing from accommodation websites while considering future options.

Police investigate violent attack at house party

A big blade aimed to maim. The target tries to flee, aided by a plea. Right or wrong, they were flung into a car before being set upon by multiple attackers, one of them slashing with the long-bladed weapon. The pursuit didn't last much longer than what's captured in this security vision. Three men stabbed early this morning in Trugger Niner in Melbourne's west. Officers say up to 10 people broke into a house armed with batons and hunting knives. An 18-year-old and a 24-year-old taken to hospital. Tensions running high in the aftermath. Carnage left behind inside the house. The living room smothered by blood. One of the windows smashed a broken bottle in amongst the shards on the floor. Alcohol with store security tags in a drawer. Holes smashed into doors. Police believe what happened is part of a feud between two gangs. The house had been rented through an online platform. Neighbours say commotion there is the norm. I'm threatened, especially with my kids, my family. If stabbing is happening here next door, how would you feel? We don't feel safe here. Neighbours have told us this happens once or twice a month. No, this is not true. But the owner concedes it isn't the first time there have been problems. There is not much information we are getting. So how can we know who is getting the house and who is the tenants? What is their age? We don't know anything. The address and there's a number of Airbnbs in the area that have been utilised for gang-related activity. After a horror clean-up job will come the repairs. The home has been removed from accommodation websites for now. The owner is working out what they'll do next. Will you keep using this as short-stay accommodation? I'm not sure. I need to check.
