A 28-year-old man was taken to hospital after being stabbed during an alleged assault at Paralowie Village Shopping Centre in Adelaide’s northern suburbs on Thursday morning, November 12, 2026.

The incident occurred in the shopping centre car park on Liberator Drive shortly after 7:40 a.m., prompting a response from South Australian emergency services.

According to a report by The Advertiser, the victim, who is from Salisbury East, was sitting in a vehicle with two passengers near an electric vehicle charging station when two men allegedly approached. One of the men reportedly confronted the driver and stabbed him in the leg, while the second allegedly assaulted the two passengers.

The driver was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. The passengers reportedly sustained minor injuries.

Both alleged attackers left the scene in a vehicle and remained at large when the incident was reported. Police established a cordon around part of the car park as investigators examined the area and gathered evidence.

Police reportedly believe the incident was not random. However, the circumstances surrounding the confrontation have not been fully established, and the investigation remains ongoing.
