A man was found with suspected stab wounds at a North Geelong car park on Sunday morning.

It comes after a spike in knife crime in recent weeks across the region.

“He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” she said.

Later that night, a second man presented himself to the emergency department at Geelong hospital with suspected stab wounds.
