A 35-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed near the Westfield Fountain Gate bus stop at 5.20pm on Sunday 19 May.

A 34-year-old Croydon man allegedly approached the woman with an edged-weapon near Overland Drive.

Police began a search after arriving, and a man was arrested shortly after in Hallam. He has since been charged with intentionally causing injury, possessing a controlled weapon and theft.

The woman was treated by paramedics on the scene, and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect was set to appear at the Dandenong Magistrate’s Court on Monday 20 May.
