A WAR of words containing vicious threats erupted days before a shopping centre brawl where a teenage girl's face was slashed with a box cutter.

The heated online argument between a teenage boy, 17, and 18-year-old man bubbled away online and culminated in the fight at the Kawana Shoppingworld on Monday afternoon.

The man fled the scene on foot and has still not been found.

Sunshine Coast police allege the "gruesome" attack was potentially "life-threatening" and have urged the man to hand himself in.

 

A 16-year-old girl was sliced from ear to chin with a box cutter during a brawl at Kawana Shoppingworld on Monday.

The conversation escalated further when the alleged victim said the man needed to "take a step back".

Alleged attacker: "F--- up s---, I'll kick you in the head s---."

The threats unfolded on June 14, more than a week before Monday's alleged attack.

The alleged victim, a 16-year-old girl, sustained a 10cm gash on her jawline which is expected to require plastic surgery but was doing "well".

Police allege that the brawl sparked because the pair "ran into each other".
