Heroic son retrains home invader in Melbourne, stabbed multiple times protecting elderly father in Albion
A man has been stabbed multiple times after rushing to his elderly father's defence during a violent home invasion in Melbourne's West. The attacker, armed with a knife, was brutally assaulting an 84-year-old Salvatore Andreula when his son, who lives next door, heard the commotion and did not think twice before rushing to his father's aid. The suburban drama unfolded at Mr Andreula's home on Ridley St in Albion about 8.10pm on Sunday. After hearing his father's dog barking, Giuseppe Andreula, 50, went to investigate, and when he arrived at his father's home, he was confronted by a man armed with a knife. The attacker was shouting demands and wanting his father to hand over his car keys, and when he refused, the attacker punched him in the face. Giuseppe confronted the offender and was stabbed multiple times as he wrestled with him. The attacker, who is yet to be identified, is believed to be in his 40s. After some struggle, Mr Andrelua's son was able to restrain the attacker and hold him done until the police arrived. Giuseppe was taken to the hospital in a serious condition on Monday morning, and his father also remains in the hospital with minor physical injuries. The offender was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries and is being kept under police guard. CCTV footage taken from a neighbouring property shows the moment police arrived at the Albion home. 'Stop it let him go,' an officer can be heard yelling out as she approaches the home. 'Let him go? He's a animal,' a voice can be heard. Albion local Lee Ly called the police after hearing screaming and the words 'killing me' coming from inside his neighbour's home, the Herald Sun reported. 'I heard the words 'killing me' and just called triple-0 straight away,' Mr Ly said. Neighbours Elliott and Lila describe the home's residents as a loving elderly Italian couple whose son lives around the block. 'We heard (the attack), we could hear that someone called the police, it was quite violent,' Lila said. Residents who know the family well praised the actions of the son, saying he is 'pretty brave'. Other residents raised concerns over the government's approach to dealing with crime and the number of police personnel available to respond to attacks such as this one. One resident speaking out and saying, 'The premier's got a lot to do with it.' 'There is not enough police.' The resident lauded the efforts of Giuseppe, who rushed to his father's aid. 'Fantastic — he's that type of a guy but he wouldn't hurt a fly,' he said. As the surge in violent home invasion continues to rise, Libertarian MP David Limbrick is pushing to review, and potentially overhaul, the state's self-defence laws. Mr Limbrick is set to introduce a motion in Parliament this week, urging the Victorian Law Reform Commission to conduct a formal review of current self-defence laws. Police have confirmed that investigations into the matter remain ongoing. Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or

Couple book sunbeds at luxury Ibiza beach club and are staggered when bill arrives Federica and Giuseppe, from Italy, recently visited the party island of Ibiza and booked some sunbeds at a beach club - but the bill left them stunned The couple visited the popular Cala Bassa beach in Ibiza (Image: StudioBarcelona via Getty Images) A couple who jetted off to Ibiza were left stunned by just how expensive their Spanish getaway became. Federica and Giuseppe, who come from Italy, document their adventures on their My Trip to Naples (@ilmioviaggioanapoli) social media page. The duo travelled to the renowned party island last year and reserved some sun loungers at a beach club. They indulged in bubbly and soaked up the atmosphere – but were astonished to discover their beach club experience cost more than their actual flights to Ibiza. At Cala Bassa Beach Club, located on Sant Josep beach, they were hit with a staggering €400 (£344) bill. Their lavish afternoon included a €40 (£34) fee purely for the sun loungers, an eye-watering €160 (£137) on bubbly, and a further €200 (£172) splashed out on meals.

The couple showed their staggering bill (Image: Jam Press Vid/@ilmioviaggioanapo) However, some have labelled the couple as foolish for choosing a luxury beach club, known for their hefty price tags.

Federica and Giuseppe, from Italy, were looking forward to a day of luxury at the Cala Bassa Beach Club in Ibiza - but were left stunned when they saw the final bill An Italian couple were left flabbergasted after their beach club experience in Ibiza cost more than their flights to the Spanish island. Federica and Giuseppe, who share their travel experiences on their My Trip to Naples (@ilmioviaggioanapoli) Instagram account, jetted off to the party hotspot in 2024 and booked sunbeds at a beach club.
