On what seemed like an ordinary afternoon around 5:10 PM, a man was standing by his car in the Bunnings carpark off Mining St, Bundamba, when he was suddenly confronted by three men.

The encounter quickly turned sour, leading to a physical confrontation that resulted in the 36-year-old man being stabbed multiple times in the torso, suffering serious injuries to his stomach and arm.


The victim, whose routine trip to the popular hardware store took a nightmarish turn, was urgently transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Thankfully, after receiving the necessary medical attention, he was in a serious but stable condition and has since been released.

This incident serves as a stark reminder that unexpected and violent confrontations can occur in even the most mundane settings.


In the aftermath of the stabbing, the assailants made a swift getaway from the scene in a Toyota Kluger bearing the Queensland registration 694XJA.

The vehicle, now a key piece of evidence in the ongoing investigation, was reported stolen from a West End address on June 27 and has yet to be recovered by the authorities.

The police disclosed that the men involved in this distressing incident are believed to be known to each other, suggesting that this was not a random act of violence but rather a targeted attack.

As the investigation continues, the police are calling on anyone with information to come forward.


The recent stabbing incident in a local carpark has heightened concerns about public safety and violence.

This unsettling event mirrors another alarming case in Perth that happened recently, where a teen's radicalisation led to a stabbing spree.

As authorities continue to investigate both incidents, the public is urged to stay vigilant and informed about the underlying issues contributing to such violent acts.

Poor Bunnings, seems to be lots of unsavoury things happening in their car parks. Don’t see other car park stabbings and assaults being labelled as Woolies, Coles, Myer, car parks etc. wonder why? As for the security cameras in Bunnings car parks they only cover certain areas if they are working at all.

One reason may be because Bunnings carparks are outside, therefore easier to escape. Others are mostly indoors, crowded and have exit gates to negotiate. As you say camera coverage is also limited outdoors.
