Four people have been hospitalised after being stabbed on the street of an inner-city Melbourne suburb in broad daylight.

Police were called to an area near Puckle St, in Moonee Ponds, following multiple triple-0 calls reporting an “agitated” man assaulting people on the street about 1.15pm on Wednesday.

Local police and detectives arrested the man, 36, near the railway station.

He was allegedly armed with “a sharp implement.”

The four victims, two males and two females ranging in age from 30s to 80s, have been taken to hospital for treatment to what is believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

The 36-year-old man is in custody and is assisting with inquiries, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.

Moonee Valley Crime Investigation Unit detectives investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and appeal for anyone who witnessed the incident or with dashcam to come forward.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
