Qld: Stabbings rife on eve of a new year
31 Dec 2008 4:49 PM
Queensland police are urging New Year's Eve partygoers to exercise caution after four recent stabbings in Brisbane.
Two boys suffered stab wounds while two groups clashed on the Victoria Bridge in central Brisbane on Tuesday night.
That followed a separate stabbing on the intersection of Brunswick and Ann Streets around 5am (AEST) on Sunday.
The two victims underwent surgery and have been released from hospital.
Premier ANNA BLIGH says she's concerned about the number of knife attacks in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast in recent weeks and people seen carrying knives can expect to feel the full force of the law.
