Corey Wood, 20, of Flaxman Street, appeared in Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with aggravated burglary, intentionally cause injury and intervention order-related offences.
On Monday Magistrate Jon Klestadt released Mr Wood on bail for assault-related charges.
He was arrested that night following the alleged stabbing.
A 30-year-old man was airlifted to Melbourne with stab wounds to his stomach while a 53-year-old received facial lacerations.
Police were called about 5.45pm and the accused was arrested after a search.
Police said the three men were known to each other.
Lawyer Amanda Chambers said it was her client’s first time in custody and that he was particularly vulnerable considering his age.
Mr Wood did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody until January 11 for a committal mention.
