A MAN has been shot dead by two patrol officers on a busy Melbourne street after he lunged at them with a knife.
Police believe the 30-year-old man from Geelong was tangled in a stabbing at a nearby hotel earlier on Sunday evening.
The officers had been called to the Gatwick Hotel in St Kilda about 7.30pm (AEST) after a woman had been stabbed in the back, allegedly by two men.
