A 21-year-old Mulgrave man will face court over a stabbing at Dandenong Plaza.
Armed Crime Squad detectives arrested him on Wednesday 25 May after a man was found with stab wounds to his upper body about 4.25pm the previous day.
Police charged him with attempted armed robbery, intentionally causing serious injury and other assault-related offences.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 26 May.
The incident occurred in the stairwell on the shopping centre’s third floor, near the Aldi supermarket.
New Greater Dandenong Local Area Commander Narelle Beer was among several officers at the scene, reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses.
“I’m sick of Dandenong,” two women remarked as they passed the cordoned-off area on Tuesday afternoon.
Large blood drops, stark against the white tiles, stretched for several metres around the scene.
Plaza staff directed concerned shoppers and workers away from the area and to their cars, fielding queries of “what’s happened?”
The victim remains in a stable condition in The Alfred hospital.
