Police have arrested a woman following an alleged stabbing frenzy on Commercial Road which has left two men in hospital and onlookers terrified.
The woman is alleged to have entered an IGA store on Commercial Road around 1.40pm on Monday, brandishing a knife before stabbing two men and fleeing on foot.
The injured men, a 38-year-old man and a 68-year-old man, were taken to the nearby Alfred Hospital with minor injuries.
The woman was arrested a short time later and is currently in custody being interviewed by officers.
The Herald Sun has been told the two victims were attempting to calm down the armed woman when they were allegedly stabbed.
