An 11-year-old girl is in hospital after she was allegedly stabbed during an armed robbery carried out by other children at a Melbourne shopping centre.
The girl was in Gallery Lane at Bayside Centre in Frankston about 12.15am on Thursday when she was allegedly approached by a 14-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl.
Police said the group demanded the girl hand over her phone and other possessions before stabbing her several times with a sharp object.
