A TEENAGER was stabbed in the chest after a group of five thugs hunted him down at a birthday party in Wyndham Vale.
Police believe the group went to a house in Akoona Way about 11.05pm last Saturday.
The 19-year-old came outside and was then set upon. He was punched and stabbed twice in the upper body. The teen also suffered a wound to the right forearm and a cut above the eye. The victim chased his attackers for a short distance before realising that he was injured. He was airlifted to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition.
