A multi-suburb manhunt is under way after a driver allegedly rammed his car into a Melbourne home and stabbed a woman, hours after attacking another man.
Police say the first man was stabbed at a property on Bradman Tce in Epping at about 7.30am on Sunday. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The spree escalated dramatically less than three hours later when a silver Honda CRV wagon smashed into the front of an Exner St home in Dandenong North.
Police say that after the crash, the male driver got out of the wreckage, entered the home, and allegedly stabbed a female occupant.
The suspect then fled the scene on foot before emergency services arrived.
Paramedics treated the woman at the property before transporting her to the hospital. Her injuries are also considered non-life-threatening.
Victoria Police believe both stabbings were targeted attacks, confirming that the suspect is known to both victims.
A major search is now active for the offender, who remains at large.
He is described as being African in appearance and was last seen wearing a brown shirt and black pants.
Authorities have warned members of the public not to approach the suspect under any circumstances.
Anyone who spots him is urged to call triple-0 immediately.
Information, video footage, or witness accounts can also be logged anonymously via Crime Stoppers.
