Homeowner speaks out after rental booking descends into 'out of control' party with 100 people The owner of the home said only two people were on the booking but, despite this, more than 100 people descended on the short-term rental property before chaos ensued The owner of a rental home has spoken out after more than 100 people turned up at his property - and a brawl broke out which ended in a stabbing. The out of control party had to be broken up by police in Melbourne, Australia. The huge crowd arrived - despite only two people being on the booking - at the short-term rental property on Belvedere Drive in Pakenham about 9.30pm Friday, September 11. But even after they were moved on, there were more problems for police to deal with. Just before 10pm on Friday night, a brawl involving the same group broke out at Pakenham Railway Station. Police say a 26-year-old man, who trying to break up the fight, was then stabbed in the arm. Paramedics soon arrived and he was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The group involved in the brawl fled when officers arrived, and despite a thorough search, no arrests have been made. Anwar Sadat, who owns the home where the party was hosted, told 7News he believed he had rented the property to two adults, who had agreed there would be no partying. “I said, like, make sure you don’t do any party. And he said, yes, no, they will not have any parties,” he said. Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV or dashcam footage or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. A spokesperson for Airbnb has told the Mirror that, despite reports, the property was not rented out via their platform.
