AFL legend assaulted during attempted home invasion

The legend of Afl Mick Malthouse was stabbed with a screwdriver when he confronted the uninvited guests who entered the East Melbourne house overnight.

Police, former Collingwood’s intruders, on Thursday at around 12.30 on a nearby lane was attacked, he said. The attackers fled on foot.

Malthouse, 72, lasted minor injuries, but refused medical treatment.

Her daughter Christie Malthouse said that her father was stabbed in her chest with what her father was a screwdriver, and after chasing three uninvited guests from a street, after chasing it with a lever.

“Actually, there were three uninvited guests and the father woke up in the sound… He tried to enter the door,” he said.

“He managed to chase them, and then faced them by them, and had guns and was shot and stabbed. But thank God he believed and misled a screwdriver, not a knife, so he wasn’t too deep and managed to fight them.

“And then they went out and chased them a little, but he was on the bare feet and couldn’t continue chasing them.

“He was shot in front of his arm with a lever.
