He said a 17-year-old received three stab wounds to his back.
The victim’s friends rendered first aid before catching a bus to Springvale Railway Station and reporting the incident to PSOs.
Paramedics took the boy to The Alfred hospital.

He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 February next year.
