Four African thugs are still on the run four days after savagely stabbing a teenage boy in a violence-plagued Melbourne suburb where two men were allegedly murdered in the first two months of the year.
CCTV footage shared by Wyndham TV shows three African males in hoodies running from a home in Wyndham Vale just before midday on Sunday morning, one carrying a blood-soaked machete.
The four attackers were seen chasing their victim through the streets before cornering him on the doorstep of a stranger’s home on Manuka Grove and launching their attack, leaving him with a laceration on his arm and rib injuries, and the doorstep of the house splattered with blood.
He then managed to walk to nearby Haines Drive where paramedics arrived within about 10 minutes and treated him for his injuries.
A resident who lives on the same street said they heard noises at their door but were too frightened to open it.
Victoria Police set up a crime scene and have been investigating, but no arrests have been made.
The attack comes after the alleged murders of two African men in the same suburb earlier this year.
In February Congolese man Nathan Mwanza, 23, was allegedly stabbed to death at a bus stop near Haines Drive. A Burmese man, 22, and a 17-year-old male have since been charged with murder.
And the previous month Sudanese man Lino Atem, 24, was allegedly stabbed to death by four carloads of machete-wielding men just 500 metres away at Haines Drive Reserve, which borders the street where Sunday’s attack took place.
