A 20-year-old man has been charged over the alleged stabbing of another man while travelling on a Gold Coast bus last week.
Police will allege the Mermaid Waters man robbed and stabbed another 20-year-old bus passenger on January 20 before making further threats against the bus driver.
The passenger was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives have now charged the man with armed robbery and threats. He was expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court today.
