Northland Shopping Centre: Melbourne shopping centre in lockdown amid reports of a brawl involving a machete

A busy shopping centre in Melbourne has been plunged into lockdown following reports of a brawl involving a machete.

Police swarmed Northland Shopping Centre in Preston, 13km north of the CBD, after the incident unfolded on Sunday.

“Police are responding to reports of numerous people fighting at a shopping centre on Murray Road in Preston this afternoon,” Victoria Police said.

“The shopping centre has been locked down while the incident is ongoing. When we have further information and have confirmed specifics, we will update all media.

“We do not have anything further at this stage.”

Bill, whose daughter was at the centre, told 3AW: “Tell people not to go there at the present time until its given the all-clear.”

At least one teenager has been transported to hospital with injuries to his upper body.

Ambulance Victoria said a man in his 20s was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Unverified images of an altercation involving what appears to be a machete have been posted on social media.

Videos, believed to have been filmed by terrified shoppers, show police running through complex.

More to come.
