A man has been charged after a stabbing in Tongala on Tuesday, May 31.

A Victoria Police spokesperson said emergency services were called to a property on Mangan St, Tongala, about 11.50pm with reports of a stabbing.

A 29-year-old man was airlifted to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, the spokesperson said.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said the man was treated for upper body injuries at the scene before he was flown to Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, in a serious but stable condition.

Police arrested a 58-year-old man at the property, and have since charged him with intentionally causing injury and recklessly causing injury, the police spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said police believed the parties were known to each other.

The man was bailed to appear at Echuca Magistrates’ Court in July.
