Police appeal for witnesses to Noosa bus stabbing

Sunshine Coast detectives investigating a stabbing on a Noosa bus are appealing for witnesses.

Around 1pm on Friday 7 May, a fight occurred on a Translink bus (#620) travelling northbound on David Low Way towards Noosa.

A verbal disagreement between an 18-year-old man and two male teenagers broke out, during which time the 18-year-old sustained a wound to his upper chest, causing a cut which required stitches.

The two teenagers alighted from the bus at the Mahogany Drive bus stop with the 18-year-old staying onboard. He later sought treatment from a medical centre.

The two teenagers are described as Caucasian with proportionate builds. Detectives would like to speak to anyone who was travelling on bus 620 around 1pm on the 7th and witnessed the incident.
