Police are searching for a group of teenagers after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed in a violent brawl.
The stabbing occurred at about 9.30pm on Saturday night after a fight between two large groups of teenagers in Elsternwick Park in Brighton, Melbourne.
It’s believed that the incident took place when the 17-year-old from Elwood and his friends were approached by a group of about 20 youths who they did not know.

The group then fled the scene through the park and into the surrounding streets.
Emergency services attended the scene and the boy was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
A waitress, Claire, who works in a restaurant opposite the park told the Herald Sun she felt something serious had happened after she saw the emergency services arriving.

‘I put all of my girls in an Uber when they arrived at the train station (on their way home), you know when you just get that feeling something has gone wrong?,’ she said.
A resident who lives across the road from Elsternwick Park, said he heard a ‘helicopter flying around for about 20 minutes’ around 11pm on Saturday.
Police have established a crime scene and are continuing to search for evidence today.
They are urging witnesses or anyone with any information or CCTV footage from the area to come forward.
