A man has died after being pulled out of his car and stabbed – sparking a manhunt for the knifeman.
Emergency services were called to a busy car park in Hope Island, on the Gold Coast, about 2:20pm on Monday to reports of a man being stabbed.
Upon arrival they found a 21-year-old man with severe stab wounds to his chest who died at the scene despite the desperate efforts of paramedics.
One local said they had ‘not seen so many police cars in one place’ as officers descended on the scene and are now hunting down two men.
A Queensland Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that a crime scene has been established and investigations are ongoing.

Investigators are also reviewing CCTV footage as they try to identify two men aged in their mid-to-late 20s, the Courier Mail reports.
One of the men was last seen with a beige knitted sweater and neck tattoos while the other was described as having black hair and wearing sunglasses and a bright yellow high-vis shirt.
Police are believed to have tracked one man to Sanctuary Cove, a nearby luxury resort, and have set up road blocks as they continue investigations.
A local reported seeing a ‘suspicious looking’ man running across the fairway at one of the resort’s two golf courses, adding that he ‘definitely wasn’t playing golf’.
Another claimed police were stopping and searching every vehicle leaving a shopping centre just metres away from the crime scene.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.
