A man has been rushed to hospital with multiple wounds following an alleged stabbing in a main street of a Sunshine Coast suburb.

The alleged incident occurred on Currie Street in Nambour about 2.30pm on Tuesday, June 24, a Queensland Ambulance post revealed.

A person suffered multiple wounds in the stabbing and they were taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition, the post read.

A Queensland Police spokesman said a man has since been taken into custody, after emergency services were called to a venue over reports of a man having been stabbed.

Police alleged a second man involved ran from the scene, and was located by officers at Petrie Park about 3.45pm.

It is believed the men are known to each other and investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information or vision regarding the incident is urged to contact police.
