Three people have been stabbed in Melbourne and the alleged offender tasered and arrested by police following a stand-off.
A 25-year-old man is fighting for life and two women, 44 and 21, are seriously injured after the incident at Doveton, which took place about 6.30am on Saturday.
One of the women tried to flee, running up the road to a neighbour's house while the alleged offender followed, the Herald Sun reported.
The neighbour heard the woman's screams and discovered her bleeding on his doorstep.
It is believed the man then dragged the woman inside his house and barricaded himself inside with his wife and children just before the alleged offender arrived.

The 24-year-old from Clayton South later threatened self-harm outside before police arrived.
He has been taken to hospital for assessment and charged with 29 offences including aggravated burglary, intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury and false imprisonment.
He appeared at an out-of-sessions court hearing and was remanded to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court again on Sunday.
All four people are believed to be known to each other but the exact circumstances are yet to be determined by police.
