Stab witness call

POLICE are calling for witnesses after an 18-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach while at a party in Hallam last weekend.
Detective Senior Constable Adam Ferguson said the incident took place at the Hallam Recreation Reserve Hall, along Frawley Road, at about 1.50am last Sunday. More than 150 youths, who police say were of African appearance, were having a private function in the hall to celebrate a local sporting club’s premiership.
Det Sen Const Ferguson said gatecrashers turned up at the premises and a fight broke out, resulting in one man being stabbed with a knife. The man was rushed to hospital with a three-centimetre deep puncture wound. Det Sen Const Ferguson said the party appeared to be unsupervised.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Detective Senior Constable Adam Ferguson at the Narre Warren Police Station on 9705 3111.
