Two Fortitude Valley residents have been charged alongside two Brisbane men following an alleged home invasion and stabbing incident in Stafford over the weekend.
According to police reports, a 37-year-old woman and a 47-year-old woman, both from Fortitude Valley, were part of a group that allegedly broke into a Wayland Street property around 6pm on Saturday, April 12.
The Valley women, along with a 20-year-old man and a 39-year-old man from Brisbane, allegedly confronted the 43-year-old male resident during the break-in. Police allege the victim was stabbed in the shoulder with a pair of small scissors and punched multiple times in the head and stomach before the group stole several personal items from the home.
The four suspects attempted to flee the scene in a white MG HS SUV but were intercepted and arrested by responding officers. All four have been charged with enter dwelling and commit, assault occasioning bodily harm while armed, and common assault.
The 37-year-old Fortitude Valley woman is expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today, April 14, alongside the 20-year-old Brisbane man. The 47-year-old Valley resident will face court later this month on April 30, along with the 39-year-old Brisbane man.
The victim was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where he remains in stable condition.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
