Two young men have been hospitalised, one with life-threatening injuries, after an early-morning stabbing in the centre of the Gold Coasts tourist precinct.
Emergency services were called to reports of a serious assault at an intersection in Surfers Paradise about 6.15am on Saturday and found two 20-year-old Toowoomba men with stab wounds.
A third man has been arrested over the incident and police have since released images of two more men they want to speak with.
One of the injured men sustained serious wounds to the stomach and back and was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
The other received serious wounds to the lower parts of his body and is in a stable condition at the same hospital, reported The Gold Coast Bulletin.
Initial reports suggested the incident had been a shooting but no guns or evidence to support that were found at the scene on Remembrance Drive at Markwell Avenue.
Police have spoken to multiple people at the scene; however, no charges in relation to the wounding incident have yet been laid, a police spokeswoman said.
Detectives from the Gold Coast District Criminal Investigation Branch released images of two people who they believe may be able to assist with investigations.
Both men were pictured in cars and police believe they can further their enquiries.

Cops have urged anyone with relevant information to contact police as their investigations continue.
Witnesses said they saw people running in the area, after they believed they heard a sound like a gunshot.
There were people running - I heard someone say get off the streets, one man who lives opposite the scene said.
I heard a banging noise that sounded not quite as loud as a gun, but it could have been a projectile.
