Victoria, Australia, to Ban Machete Sales After Gang Fight

In Victoria, Australia, the government is stopping the sale of machetes because of a recent violent fight where people used them.

A young man was hurt in a mall fight involving machete-wielding gang members.

Starting Wednesday, you won't be able to buy machetes in Victoria, but kitchen knives are ok.

From September, it will be illegal to even have a machete, unless there's a special reason.

If you get caught with one, you could go to jail or pay a big fine.

Police arrested some people involved.

This is happening because knife crimes are becoming a problem, and the government wants to make the streets safer.
