Two teenage boys have been arrested after a man was allegedly stabbed with a machete at Bondi Beach on Friday night.
Emergency services were called at 9.15pm to Glasgow Avenue, a short walk from the beach, and found a 54-year-old man with a stab wound to his upper body.
“Police were told the man had an altercation with two unknown boys, before the man was stabbed with a machete,” NSW Police said in a statement.
He was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Two boys, aged 15 and 17, were arrested on Beach Road before they were taken to Surry Hills police station.
A crime scene was established, and investigations are continuing. A police spokesperson declined to comment further on Saturday morning.
Friday night’s incident was hundreds of metres away from the scene of December’s Bondi Beach shootings, when 15 people were killed in the nation’s worst terror attack.
