Three men have been injured after a group of machete-wielding thugs crashed a birthday party being held in a Melbourne short-stay rental.
The violence erupted at about 4.45am on Saturday at a property on Everholme Drive in Truganina, and pictures of the home show smashed tables, glass doors and furniture and the floor covered in blood.
Two African men aged 18 and 24 were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and a third man fled after paramedics treated his wounds at the scene, local news outlet Wyndham TV reported.
Witnesses said heated arguments broke out after the attack, and police were force to use pepper spray to control the volatile situation.
CCTV shows a group of machete-wielding males running from the home while a voice can be heard repeatedly shouting “wrong person, wrong person”.
The group had fled by the time police arrived, and no arrests have been made.
The violent home invasion is the latest in a series of machete attacks that have taken place in Melbourne since Premier Jacinta Allan banned the weapons and installed 40 “machete bins” across the state at a cost of $13 million.
Last week a father was allegedly stabbed 11 times during a home invasion, and less than a week before that African and Pacific Islander gangs fought with swords and machetes at a busy shopping centre.
