A teenage boy has been charged with murder after a fatal house party stabbing in Geelong.

The 17-year-old, from Bulleen in Melbourne's northeast, was questioned by homicide detectives on Saturday after an unidentified man was killed in Norlane on Friday night.

Victoria Police have since charged the boy with murder.

The Herald Sun reports the victim, believed to be from Melbourne, had been trying to break up a fight.

A neighbour said he was shaken after the nearby party turned violent.

"There were two gangs yelling and screaming at one another," he told the Nine Network.
