He was found by paramedics in a life-threatening condition with “significant” wounds, the Queensland Ambulance Service said.

Two men allegedly fled on foot. The 18-year-olds were arrested about one kilometre away on Costin Street.

No police tape or signs of the alleged crime were visible about six hours later, with restaurant owners collecting produce and traffic at the intersection heavy as normal.

Staff at nearby businesses were told they were not allowed to comment.
