Security guard stabbed

A CRANBOURNE man was arrested after allegedly stabbing a security guard at the Hampton Park Tavern on the weekend.
It’s understood the 59-year-old man had been evicted from the tavern earlier on Saturday night, before returning about 9.30pm armed with a knife.
The man then stabbed a security guard in the tavern’s foyer, before another patron rushed out to help the guard.
After a scuffle the offender fell to the ground where he hit his head and was rushed to hospital with suspected bleeding on the brain.
The offender was released from hospital the next day and charged with several offences. He is set to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court in April.
The security guard sustained minor injuries to his abdomen and forearm. It’s not believed the guard was involved in the earlier eviction of the Cranbourne man from the tavern.
