Brisbane ferry wharf brawl leaves man stabbed in stomach

A teenager has been charged after another man was stabbed in the stomach during a wild brawl at a Brisbane ferry wharf.

The 19-year-old allegedly attacked his 27-year-old victim after an argument broke out at Kangaroo Point in the city’s east on Saturday night.

The disagreement reportedly started when the younger man was getting off a ferry with a female companion as the other man attempted to board.

The teenager is alleged to have stabbed the 27-year-old before fleeing the scene on foot.

The wounded 27-year-old was taken to hospital where he was treated for injuries to his abdomen. 

Footage obtained by Seven News shows two men being detained by police, one with a bloodied face. It is unclear what involvement the pair had in the incident. 

‘Initial investigations indicate at about 6.15pm, two groups of people engaged in an altercation at the Thornton Street Ferry Terminal,’ a police spokesman said.

‘During that altercation, a 27-year-old man received a stab wound to the abdomen.’

The 19-year-old, who was found by police a short time after the incident, was refused bail and will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday, charged with unlawful wounding.
