Police said in a statement that two men were interviewed by police after “presenting themselves” at a police station.

Detective senior sergeant Simon Karp told Channel 7 that the stabbing was “spur of the moment”.

“I think it was a spur of the moment thing when he’s found out a new partner on the scene,” he said.

A woman was also home at the time and was not injured.

Blood could be seen in the driveway of the Talmage St units, from where the attacker allegedly fled after stabbing the man in the upper body.
