A teenage boy is fighting for his life after he was pulled inside a car and stabbed by a group of men in a suspected armed robbery.
Police are actively hunting for the thugs who took the boy, 14, into a dark grey Volkswagen Tiguan on Neerim Road outside Glen Eira College in Glen Huntly, southeast Melbourne, just after school finished at about 3:35pm.
The victim, who is believed to be a student at Glen Eira College, was walking home from school at the time of the abduction.
It’s understood the offenders were armed with machetes and they stabbed the victim during an altercation inside the vehicle.
The car then drove a short distance before the boy was either thrown out or managed to get out at the corner of Neerim Road and Grange Road.
