Northbridge brawl: Man stabbed with broken glass on James Street

A man has been stabbed and another man glassed during a brawl in Northbridge early Friday morning.

Police say the brawl broke out just after midnight when two groups of men passed each other on James Street.

During the brawl a 22-year-old was stabbed in the abdomen with a glass bottle while a 28-year-old man was struck in the face with a bottle.

Both men remain in Royal Perth Hospital.

Three other men involved in the brawl were also taken to RPH but have since been released.

Police are also investigating a separate assault after a 38-year-old man was found unconscious on James Street at 2.15am.

The officers who found him believe he was assaulted inside a nearby venue by a group of three men.

This morning’s incidents are the latest assaults to have occurred in Northbridge in recent weeks, and it comes as The West Australian aims to shine a light on Perth’s recent scourge of theft and violence.
