AN assault at Bayside Shopping Centre which left one alleged offender with self-inflicted wounds is under investigation.
Police were called out to the Frankston shopping centre at around 11am on 16 July. They were told that two men had assaulted three victims inside the centre.
Police allege one of the offenders “brandished an edged weapon”, reportedly a machete, but only managed to cut their own hand. The alleged offenders soon fled on foot.
The three assault victims each sustained some minor injuries, but were not required to be taken to hospital.
Police say they have recovered the weapon from a bin near the centre. They have asked any witnesses to contact them to assist with their ongoing investigation.
