A woman is in critical condition after she was repeatedly stabbed in the face in a Melbourne park. 9News

The victim has not yet been formally identified due to the extent of her injuries.

Asst Comm. Cornelius said he believed the attending junior police officers acted "appropriately" as they had urged the attacker to stop. "A lot happens in 30 seconds, including time to issue a warning, time to give a person an opportunity to accede to that warning and do what they're being asked," he said.

"If those warnings aren't complied with, and they continue in attacking another individual, then of course police have to take action."The officers were not physically injured, although Asst Comm. Cornelius admitted they were "terribly shaken". "They've done the best to stop a terrible attack from continuing and, tragically, despite their best efforts, it has resulted in the death of a male, who we believe was the assailant, and also very, very serious injuries to the female, who was the subject of that frenzied attack," Asst Comm. Cornelius said."These were junior members, early in their career, and they found themselves having to make one of the worst-possible decisions that any member has to make in their career.
