00:00Emergency services were only called here around 5.30 this morning to report of a man with
00:07a stab wound.
00:09Paramedics arrived and tried desperately to save the man's life, taking him to Geelong
00:13Hospital with critical injuries, but unfortunately he couldn't be saved.
00:18Two other men took themselves to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
00:23It's unclear exactly what their relationship is to the victim, who sadly has passed away.
00:29It sparked an extensive crime scene here in Geelong's city centre.
00:33It stretches for 500 metres from near where we understand the man stopped, all the way
00:39to the highway, and it's horrific.
00:42There is a trail of blood for hundreds of metres.
00:45The homicide squad and forensic officers arrived when the sun rose this morning, and they're
00:50trying to piece together exactly what happened here, but surrounding businesses say events
00:55like this are all too common, and that every week there is an assault or a glassing, and
01:01they say there needs to be more of a police presence here in the party area, especially
01:06on Friday and Saturday nights.
01:08So there have been no arrests or charges in this case so far, but it is still very early
01:14on and police are trying to figure out exactly what led up to this 20-year-old man's death
01:19as his family tragically wait to the news that he has died.
