Two machete attacks have occurred in Melbourne within 48 hours, with the latest incident on Queen Street resulting in a man being slashed and taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital and a woman taken to the Alfred in serious condition. A 25-year-old has been arrested and charged with affray and intentionally causing injury. The attacks follow the brutal murder of Aiden Becker in Mernda, with the Victorian government deploying its violence reduction unit to the area in response to the escalating violence.
