Shop assistant stabbed at Rosebud supermarket

Police have stated the stabbing was not related to panic buying.

A supermarket worker has been flown to hospital after being stabbed in a supermarket carpark in Rosebud.

Police have arrested a 25-year-old Rosebud man after he allegedly stabbed a 37-year-old supermarket worker in the upper body shortly before 1:00pm.

Police believe the Woolworths staff member was collecting trolleys before he was approached by a man and stabbed.

Ambulance Victoria said he was treated at the scene and flown to the Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Police said there was nothing to suggest the stabbing was related to panic buying in supermarkets, describing it as a random incident.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
