A 44-year-old Parrearra man has been charged after allegedly stabbing a 67-year-old man in the neck at the Caloundra Bus Interchange on the morning of Saturday, 12 July.

Emergency services were called to the interchange near Cooma Terrace and Latona Avenue just before 11:30am following reports of a physical altercation between two men.

Police allege the dispute escalated, resulting in the older man sustaining a stab wound.

A Queensland Ambulance service spokesperson said the 67-year old sustained a “significant neck injury”.

He was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The 44-year-old was arrested at the scene and has been charged with serious assault of a person over 60, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, and possession of a knife in a public place.

He is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, 14 July.
