south yarra stabbing leaves man with life-threatening injuries



A 58-year-old man remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries following an alleged assault and stabbing in South Yarra.

 

Emergency services were called to Malvern Road at approximately 12.20am on Sunday 9 August 2026 after reports of a man suffering head injuries. Police allege the victim had been assaulted before being stabbed.

 

The St Kilda man was transported to hospital for treatment. Police later arrested a 38-year-old South Yarra woman at a nearby property on Howitt Street. She has been charged with intentionally causing serious injury, recklessly causing serious injury and failing to comply with a direction to assist. Police believe the parties are known to each other.

 

Serious violent crimes can result in significant physical injuries as well as ongoing psychological and financial consequences for victims of crime and their families. In Victoria, eligible victims can apply for assistance through the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS). Assistance includes medical costs, counselling costs, loss of earnings, safety-related expenses, damaged/lost clothing expenses and other recovery-related items in exceptional circumstances.

 

If you or someone close to you has been affected by a violent incident, sending an enquiry can help you better understand whether financial assistance may be available to you.
