MELBOURNE, Jan 25 AAP - Four young men have been hospitalised with stab wounds following an incident in Melbourne's north.
The men, aged in their late teens to early 20s, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries about 10.40am (AEDT) on Sunday after the stabbings in Woolhouse Street, Northcote.

They were taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The other two men where in a nearby house and were taken to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition.
Mr Rowe could not elaborate on the mens' injuries or the circumstances of the stabbing.
