A supermarket worker has been stabbed outside a Mornington Peninsula supermarket.

The male worker, 37, was collecting trolleys outside Woolworths in Rosebud when he was approached by an unknown man and stabbed to the lower body just before 1pm.

The victim has been airlifted to The Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

A 25-year-old Rosebud man has been arrested.
