Former Western Force star Brynard Stander has revealed why he tracked down the alleged stabber on Sunday.
In a statement on Monday, police said they would allege the pair were armed with knives when they went to Northgate Street, Karinew, in a vehicle to meet two 18-year-old men as part of a pre-arranged meeting.
‘It is believed that the two perpetrators threatened the two male victims.
During the altercation, one of the 18-year-old victims suffered a stab wound to the abdomen, while the other 18-year-old suffered cuts to her left wrist and thigh.
‘Both (alleged) victims were taken to Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries.
The former rugby star was forced into action following the incident at Karrinyup.
‘It is alleged that one of the (alleged) offenders grabbed a bag containing cannabis from the victim’s vehicle and the two offenders then fled down a laneway between Northgate Street and Edmondson Crescent.’
He added that police would claim information obtained from members of the public helped them apprehend the culprits.
The teens are due to appear in the Perth Children’s Court on Monday.
