Ridley St, Albion: Three injured after elderly man confronted by knife-wielding burglar
Victoria Police say the incident on Ridley St in Albion, in Melbourne's western suburbs, unfolded shortly after 8pm on Sunday.
According to a police spokeswoman, an 84-year-old man was confronted by a knife-wielding man outside his home as he was investigating why his dog was barking.
'The offender allegedly demanded the 84-year-old's car keys and punched the elderly victim in the face when he refused,' she said.
The elderly man's son, who lives next door, rushed to his father's aid and subdued the attacker but was 'stabbed multiple times during the physical altercation'.
According to Victoria Police the offender was pinned to the ground until police arrived, with the trio taken to hospital.
The 50-year-old son remains in a serious condition, as does the unidentified attacker, while the home's resident suffered minor physical injuries.

Wayne Carey's adult-only club move after toilet tryst controversy
Wayne Carey has landed back on Australian shores and the former AFL premiership star is reportedly set to make an eye-opening public return. The 54-year-old left the country with his family after finding himself embroiled in controversy over an alleged toilet tryst. Carey went viral in July after footage filmed at Toorak Cellars in Armadale, showed him following a woman out of a bathroom. Carey however is now set to make his first public appearance since the incident with the 272-game AFL great appearing at an adults-only club in Geelong. The After Dark Gentleman's Club is promoting a meet and greet session with Carey on August 15. 'Meet and greet with Wayne Carey,' the club promises on its Facebook page. 'Doors open from 8.30pm. Live entertainment all night.' Carey has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing over the alleged toilet tryst, with the Kangaroos legend saying it was a breach of privacy and 'slut shaming'. Carey and the woman in the video, marketing executive Kate Aston, both publicly said they are pursuing legal action after the video quickly spread across cyberspace. Aston said the scandal has taken an immense toll on her personal and professional life. 'What has happened to me could happen to anyone, and no one should have to go through what I have been put through – the damage, the speculation, the impact on my livelihood, all from the malicious actions of a small few,' Ms Aston, who has denied anything happened in the toilets, said. 'Overnight, from footage of me simply exiting a toilet at a bar, I've had my life turned upside down. 'From a professional perspective, my ability has been put into question which has had immediate financial repercussions, one that is costing me every day with the effects likely to be long term and irreversible … while I appear strong, those closest to me know that my suffering over recent days has been colossal.' Carey's ex-partner publicly mocked the retired footballer in another twist to the bizarre scandal. Kate Neilson couldn't help herself from taking a sly dig at her former partner when she re-enacted the viral video. Neilson posted a candid clip of herself walking out of a bathroom covering her face before her partner shortly exits the same bathroom while appearing to use his phone. The video on Neilson's Instagram stories included a duck emoji watermark. Carey's nickname during his football career was 'Duck'. The clip was set to the Bloodhound Gang's The Bad Touch hit. Neilson said she hoped the video was merely a misunderstanding. Carey, a great of the North Melbourne footy club, has a track record of incidents away from the playing arena. The most famous was his affair with former teammate Anthony Stevens' then-wife Kelli, which led to Carey's sacking from the Kangaroos. He has also been hit with indecent assault, domestic violence and misdemeanour battery allegations, along with issues with drugs and alcohol, and has been sacked from a number of media roles. Carey was in 2007 involved in a 'glassing' incident with Neilson. Neilson last year went public to refute claims Carey made about the incident, where he described reports as incorrect and 'ludicrous'. Neilson has always maintained: 'I can say with certainty the glass of wine was intentionally thrown into my face and smashed my mouth pretty bad.'

House where Fadi Ibrahim was shot returns to the market
One of the nation's leading endocrine surgeons is selling Castle Cove's most infamous house – the former home of Sydney identity Fadi Ibrahim – who survived a shooting outside the property back in 2009. Clinical professor Dr Mark Sywak specialises in minimal invasive surgery for thyroid and adrenal glands and is recognised as a world leader. MORE: Trick rich are using to get $200m+ mansions He purchased the luxury Castle Cove home on Sydney's affluent North Shore in 2016 paying $4.31m and now after raising his family he and his wife Alex are letting it go and moving closer to the ocean. 'We knew who owned the house and we found them to be a wonderful normal couple,' Dr Sywak said. 'We also thought they had quite good taste,' he added. SHOT IN HIS Lamborghini Fadi Ibrahim is one of the Ibrahim brothers now based in Sydney's eastern suburbs. His brother John is a former nightclub owner and author who is the subject of the television series The Last King Of The Cross which follows the fortunes of John and his brother Sam. In 2006 Fadi built a substantial five-bedroom home in the sedate leafy suburb of Castle Cove choosing a large corner block opposite the golf course and tennis courts and paying $1.05m for the site. RELATED: Rare look into Chris Hemsworth's $50m Byron home Three years later he was shot through an open window while he and his girlfriend were sitting outside the house in their Lamborghini car. Mr Ibrahim was gunned down and shot five times which left him in a coma for several weeks. His girlfriend at the time and now wife, Shayda Ibrahim, who was also in the car, was shot in the thigh. No one has been charged over the shooting. Police later charged the couple, along with Mr Ibrahim's younger brother Michael and others for conspiring to kill family rival John Macris after mistakenly believing he was behind the shooting of Fadi, but the charges were later dropped. Fadi spared no expense in a rebuild dedicating a whole top floor to a retreat with a 10.7m long bedroom, a vast ensuite with black marble double spa bath, three vanities, two showers and two toilets. And the walk-in wardrobe off the bedroom is huge – bigger than any of the four other bedrooms. Plus the bedroom has its own deep east-facing balcony and media hub. The Sywaks also love the secret door from the main lounge to the whole floor parents retreat. 'We moved in with four children and there is lots of space for them to have their friends while we retreat upstairs,' he said. MORE: Free rent deals on the rise The house is built like a bunker, covers 485 sqm of floor space and has two large living rooms, a renovated main stone kitchen, a second kitchen next to the double garage – ideal for large scale food storage – a wine cellar with tasting room and four bathrooms. Outside there are two entertaining terraces, both with barbecues, one beside the swimming pool and one just outside the main living room with stackable doors opening right up to the northern sun. MORE: Trump's newest tower has bizarre pool boast Solar panels have been added to the roof for sustainability and the property has excellent security and storage. Agent Stefon Bertram, of Pello Lower North Shore, said the workmanship in the Neerim Rd house is second to none with joinery alone costing $1m. 'It is also close to the shops and village, very private and very practical,' he said. Number 3 Neerim Rd goes to auction on Saturday September 6 and although a guide has yet to be set, bidding in the early $6ms is expected.
