A second teenager has been arrested and charged following a stabbing at a popular Sunshine Coast shopping centre.

Another teenage boy had already been arrested for allegedly stabbing a man and kicking him in the head outside the Sunshine Plaza on Monday.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said the 16-year-old Kuluin boy was found in Anzac Ave, Maroochydore, on Tuesday afternoon and arrested.

On Tuesday night he was charged with one count each of common assault and wounding.

The boy was refused police bail and was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

The stabbed man was taken to hospital after the incident.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said police were called to reports of an alleged altercation between two boys and a man at the Maroochydore bus station on Horton Parade around 2.45pm.

It will be alleged the 45-year-old Maroochydore man had been kicked in the head and stabbed once in his thigh.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics treated the man for a stab wound before taking him to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital where he remains in a stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

Initial police investigations indicate the teenage boys and the man were not known to each other.

The boys allegedly ran from the scene but one of them was found by police at a property on Bungama St, Maroochydore about 8.30pm.

He has been charged with one count each of common assault and wounding.

He has been refused police bail and is due to appear in Maroochydore Children’s Court on August 20.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact police.
