US EditionMachete gang fight in shopping mall leads Australian state to bring forward ban
- On Sunday afternoon at a Melbourne mall, machete-wielding gang members fought, seriously injuring a 20-year-old man.
- The violent clash prompted Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan to announce an immediate ban on the sale of machetes in the state.
- Victoria, Australia's second-most populous state, will enforce the ban starting Wednesday, with a three-month amnesty for safe disposal of machetes.

- Authorities arrested four gang members connected to the fight, and the ban aims to reduce knife crime and prevent dangerous weapons in public spaces.
