On Tuesday in South Melbourne, a 51-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed in the neck while getting off a tram with her dog. The attack occurred on Eastern Road around midday and witnesses reported seeing the assailant, a 37-year-old man without a fixed address, stab the victim with what appeared to be a kitchen utensil like a knife or fork. Police arrested the suspect just meters from where the incident took place near Kings Way, and he was interviewed later that afternoon but no charges had been filed by 6 PM. The woman received medical treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. A court hearing revealed that the accused, identified as Jahangir Sharifabadi, has schizophrenia and requires psychiatric care; he remains in custody until a future hearing later this month.
