Jogger stabbed in stomach, neck and chin in frightening attack after Dawn Service in Melbourne's north
WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE A young man has been rushed to hospital after being stabbed while jogging in Melbourne's north following an Anzac Day Dawn Service. The 24-year old man went for a jog on Anzac Day before allegedly being ambushed by strangers, where he was struck in the abdomen, neck and chin. Police are now hunting for an unknown offender following the stabbing which occurred just before 8am on Friday. Police said in a statement the victim, a 24-year-old man, was transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. 'The exact circumstances are yet to be determined, and the investigations remain ongoing,' Victoria Police said. Reports say the man was struck outside a nearby pizza shop on Spring Street in Reservoir. The man allegedly ran 150 metres holding his stomach to a nearby petrol station. CCTV footage captured the moment the 24-year-old stumbled his way to the nearby Metro Petroleum service station where he was seeking assistance. The footage shows the young man slumped to the ground while holding his T-shirt to his stomach wound as bystanders call emergency services. The man was able to stand and speak with police before being taken to hospital for surgery. The service station worker, who did not want to be unidentified, told Nine he saw the injured jogger. 'It was shocking, I couldn't understand what was actually happening,' the worker said. 'I just saw him coming and he was screaming here … He was saying 'I got stabbed, I got stabbed, I got stabbed'. 'He was holding his tummy,' he said. 'I gave him a towel and paper towel to hold it, asked him to sit down and finally he sat down and then [the bleeding] stopped a little bit.' The young man's family said he had returned from Anzac Day Dawn Services with his parents before his usual morning run.

Burpengary teen among two struck by lightning as wild storms strike homes and bring relentless rain to Queensland's southeast
A teenager has miraculously survived after a bolt of lightning crashed through her bedroom and set her mattress on fire north of Brisbane. Bloom Kermode, 17, was one of two people injured when overnight storms unleashed 2500 lighting strikes across Queensland 's southeast. A bolt caused the ceiling of Bloom's Burpengary bedroom to cave in and her mattress to catch fire just before 3am. 'It hit the roof and everything just exploded,' Bloom told 7NEWS, with her powerpoints and electrical cables destroyed. 'Everything was white and I had this ringing in my ears.' The teen had been using her phone on charge when her home was struck by lightning. 'My arm was stuck.... tensed. And it was fully numb. Everything was numb,' she said. Her neighbour next door also copped a 'good shock' while scrolling on his phone. 'Got me right across my arms,' Jack Thom told 7NEWS. At least a dozen Anzac Day Dawn Services and marches were cancelled as residents around Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast woke to the wild weather on Friday. A woman in her 30s was also taken to Nambour Hospital with a neck injury after being hit by lightning at a home in Yandina, on the Sunshine Coast, about 12.45am. Along with the thousands of lightning strikes, the storms also brought heavy rain. Nambour copped 200mm of rain in just three hours, cutting off homes and seeping into shops. 'Everything looked so beautiful yesterday and today it's a mess,' local Frank Browne said. Several drivers caught out by the floodwaters had to be rescued, but it cleared almost as fast as the rain fell. Residents and business owners are now cleaning up from the third flood this year, with some only just having recovered from Cyclone Alfred.

Albanese, Dutton pay tribute to Anzac Spirit, attend services
Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton have attended Anzac Day Dawn Services on Friday morning, which this year commemorates the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. The Prime Minister was at the official Dawn Service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Monuments around the memorial have been lit up with projections from contemporary conflicts since 5am. Moving and confronting from diaries and first hand accounts of World War I were also read out prior to the official service, which began with the playing of the didgeridoo. While the instrument is not customarily played on Ngunnawal country, event organisers were able to get permission from Traditional Custodians. Attendees were then invited to sing the hymn O Valiant Hearts, which remembers the service men and women who died in WWI. In his dedication to the Anzacs, Mr Albanese said 'their spirit' was still felt to this day. 'We wish to be worthy of their great sacrifice,' he said. 'Let us therefore once more, dedicate ourselves to the ideals for which they died as the dawn is even now about to pierce the dark. 'So let their memory inspire us to work for the coming new life into the dark places of the world.' Deputy Chief of the Navy Rear Admiral Matt Buckley paid tribute to Sergeant William Henry Buck, who was just 18 years old when landed at Anzac Cove in Gallipoli with the 5th Australian Light Horse Regiment on the May 19, 1915. 'Four days later, a short armistice was held so that both sides could bury their dead. Sergeant Buck and his men got to work, helping to clear the thousands of dead bodies between the trenches,' he said. 'This set the tone for the months that would follow.' While the ceremony largely went to schedule, an atte ndee was heard yelling out, 'Free Palestine' following the playing of the Reveille. Another person said in response: 'Go kick a landmine.' The Opposition Leader has attended the Pine Rivers Anzac Day Service at the Norths Leagues and Services Club in his north Brisbane electorate of Dickson. Both he and Mr Albanese have suspended official election campaigning on Friday to mark the sombre day. Mr Dutton has laid a wreath in honour of the Anzacs during a ceremony at the Pine Rivers District RSL Memorial Gardens. The Opposition Leader was the third person to place a wreath under the sounds of bagpipes, followed by representatives of former premier Steven Miles and the Queensland Police Service among others. More than a hundred people attended the simple ceremony in the Brisbane suburbs of Kallangur, braving the inclement weather. Dozens more lined up in the street outside the Norths Leagues and Services Club throughout proceedings. Mr Dutton earlier paid tribute to the tens of thousands of Australians who lost their lives in Europe and the Pacific for Anzac Day, 80 years after the end of World War II. In a video message, he said Australians would 'especially feel the weight of history' on Anzac Day 2025, which falls eight decades after the war ended. Mr Dutton thanked the men and women who saved 'the world from the tyranny of totalitarianism' during the conflict. 'As the custodians of that peace, it's our duty to deter tyranny and prevent catastrophic war. 'In that duty, may we never waver in effort, energy and endeavour – spurred on by the souls we commemorate on Anzac Day,' Mr Dutton said in his video message. Mr Dutton singled out two Australians whose efforts were crucial to the end of the war – RAAF bomber pilot John Holmes and Victoria Cross recipient Thomas Derrick. Fears of a new global conflict have been a persistent theme in the election campaign, with Mr Dutton cautioning whether Australia would join peacekeeping in Ukraine. Mr Albanese has thrown his weight behind an effort by UK Prime Minister Keir Stermer to bring together a possible 'coalition of the willing for Ukraine'. In his address, Mr Dutton described how at the outbreak of war, then-prime minister Robert Menzies said that Australia was part of 'a great family of nations'. It was that family that liberated east, west, and central Europe from the Nazi regime, and the Pacific and southeast Asia from Imperial Japan during WWII.

Dozens more lined up in the street outside the Norths Leagues and Services Club throughout proceedings. Mr Dutton is attended a second Anzac Day event in Samford on the outskirts of Brisbane. A planned flyover was unfortunately cancelled as another weather front bore down on Brisbane. It didn't put a dampner on the children's choir, nor the enthusiasm of the scores of school kids and scouts. After the youngsters had read two poems, Mr Dutton joined RSL notables in laying a wreath. The Opposition Leader is expected to fly later today to Townsville, something he let slip earlier in the day. More to come
