One was on King Street, the other on Bourke Street and the third 1.3km away in Southbank with the incidents unfolding in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The alleged carjacking at the petrol station led to the 53-year-old man receiving multiple stab wounds while his passengers, a 25-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman, were unharmed.

Footage showed the group of teenagers dressed in tracksuits approaching the Porsche that was parked next to a petrol pump.

One of the alleged attackers was seen wielding a machete. 

The female passenger could be seen running for her life as the car door was opened before the group then piled into the luxury vehicle.

Police later found the allegedly stolen Porsche abandoned more than 30km away at Queen Street just after 3am on Sunday.

Police set up separate crime scenes to examine the two stabbing incidents in the city’s centre and spent the morning scouring for evidence as detectives work to identify the offenders. 

In the fatal incident, emergency services were called to Bourke Street about 5.45am following reports of an assault.

Two men were found with stab wounds and were rushed to hospital in a critical condition, where one of the victims, who is yet to be formally identified, later died. 

The second man, aged in his 20s, remains in hospital in a stable condition with upper body injuries. 

CCTV footage showed the brawl breaking out in front of the McDonald’s at the intersection into Hardware Lane as several men threw punches at each other.

No arrests over the homicide have been made at this stage but a man, 19, was taken into custody at the scene for affray and is assisting police with their inquiries. 

Detectives taped off Bourke Street between Elizabeth Street and Queen Street on Sunday as they examined the scene. 

Victoria Police Acting Superintendent Troy Papworth confirmed the man accused of the stabbing remained on the run.

‘(The alleged offender) came into the city, with the intent to cause this offence they then fled the scene, and our police are still looking for those things where any members of this group involved,’ he said.

Earlier on Sunday, two men were found injured about 300 metres away after a wild brawl broke out outside the Inflation nightclub.

Police said the men were discovered with stab wounds 1.25am following a large affray at the intersection of Flinders Lane and King Street.  

A 19-year-old male with suspected serious injuries and an unidentified man with life-threatening injuries have both been taken to hospital.

A crime scene has been set up and the area cordoned off while detectives examine the scene, with officers from the Major Crime Scene Unit also set to attend.

Police are looking at whether the two stabbings just hours apart are linked and CCTV footage from the council and local businesses are expected to play a major role in the investigation.

‘I assure you that we will come down hard on people who continue to come into the city, and bring violence with them.’

In a third earlier incident, three men were left injured after an assault in Southbank. 

Police have been told two groups of men appeared to argue as they were leaving a bar along Riverside Quay about 12.40am.

The argument allegedly spilled onto the promenade footpath, where three men were set upon by two other men.

A 25-year-old man from Springvale was struck heavily to the face before he fell and hit his head on the ground.

The two other men, aged 24 and 25-years from Keysborough and Cheltenham, received facial injuries.

The pair who police said appeared to be the aggressors fled the scene.
