They have both been taken to hospital and one is reported to be in a critical but stable condition.
The incident happened when the man arrived at a police station in the Endeavour Hills suburb of Melbourne on Tuesday evening.
He had been asked to attend an interview there, ABC reports.
According to Sky News Australia, the man was brandishing a flag of the Islamic State (IS) militant group.
The incident has occurred amid heightened tensions due to major counter-terrorism raids last week in Sydney and Brisbane.
The raids were aimed at disrupting alleged IS-linked plans to publicly behead a randomly-selected Australian.
On Monday, Mr Abbott warned that certain freedoms might have to be forfeited in the name of security.
Australian authorities believe at least 60 Australians are in the Middle East fighting with IS (also known as Isis or Isil) and other militant groups.
