Stabbed boy fighting for life, man charged over separate stabbing

A boy is in a life-threatening condition after being stabbed in the back north of Brisbane.

The 15-year-old from Kallangur was wounded at a home at the intersection of Napier Avenue and Capestone Boulevard in Mango Hill about 10.30pm on Friday.

He was taken by paramedics to Queensland Children’s Hospital.

A 16-year-old boy from Mango Hill has been charged with one count of robbery armed in company with wounding.

He is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Children’s Court on Saturday.

In a separate incident, a man was stabbed in the chest and head on the Sunshine Coast.

The 38-year-old was allegedly stabbed by a 31-year-old man at a home on Orchid Place in Bokarina about 8.15pm on Friday.

A 42-year-old man suffered injuries to his hand in the same incident.

The 38-year-old was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a life-threatening condition, while the 42-year-old was taken to the same hospital in a stable condition.

Police allege the 31-year-old had earlier hijacked an all-terrain vehicle on Nicklin Way about 7.50pm. He is accused of threatening its rider, a 32-year-old woman, and directing her to drive.

She was uninjured and fled the scene when he dismounted her vehicle a short time later.

The 31-year-old then allegedly entered a Peacock Crescent home about 8.10pm and threatened those inside with a weapon, before stealing alcohol and leaving.

The man has been charged with 13 offences, including seven counts of threatening violence; one count of discharge firearms or other acts, for allegedly threatening with a knife; two counts of enter dwelling and commit; and one count of assault occasioning bodily harm.

He is expected to appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court on Saturday.
