A Melbourne man, whose stabbing triggered a 14-hour siege yesterday, has died in hospital.
Victoria Police confirmed the 45-year-old, who was stabbed in the back at Seaford, in Melbourne’s south, had died this evening.
The attack sparked a siege at Frankston overnight, which ended in police opening fire on the alleged knifeman.
Police stormed the Frankston home this morning following a tense 14-hour standoff that saw a 35-year-old woman stabbed and another man slashed.
Special Operations Group officers shot the 46-year-old alleged knifeman in the stomach and the leg. The man remains under police guard at The Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Police allege they tracked the man to the house following the earlier stabbing about 10am.
The 45-year-old victim was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
Police allege they were confronted with a knife when they arrived at the Frankston home at 5.30pm yesterday, acting on a tip-off.
The man reportedly asked police to bring him beers and supplies of the drug ice during the stand-off.
