Queensland Police have said the victims of the stabbing were not assisting police with their investigation.
"Unfortunately those people that were involved in the disturbance and even the people who received those wounds are being non-compliant and aren't assisting police with their investigation," said North Brisbane District Superintendent Chris Stream.
Despite the incident, and several smaller disturbances, Queensland Police said they were happy with the behaviour of revellers overall.
