Story summary
On Saturday morning around 12:20am, Colin Sheean, a 41-year-old father of two from Langwarrin in Melbourne's south-east, was critically injured after attempting to stop a group of teenagers allegedly breaking into a car. He sustained multiple stab wounds and is currently hospitalized in an induced coma at The Alfred hospital. Two suspects, both 16-year-olds, were arrested around 4am but police are still searching for a third teenager involved in the incident. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist Sheean's family during his recovery period, considering he runs his own business and will be unable to work for an extended time due to medical expenses. Five years ago, Sheean also experienced tragedy when his wife died suddenly from cardiac arrest.
