Three teenagers have been charged after a Canberra father was allegedly stabbed with a metal star picket in what a magistrate has described as an "ultra-violent" Australia Day attack.
Jayden Robert Caldwell, 19, Dylan James Summerell, 18, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named, were arrested at a construction site in the Gungahlin suburb of Taylor early on Thursday morning.
Police allege the trio was hiding there after attacking a resident of that suburb in his driveway late the previous night.
