A 10-year-old boy battling brain cancer was attacked and punched in the face by an African immigrant outside Victoria Police headquarters while in Melbourne for medical treatment.
When his 46-year-old mother tried to protect him, she was put in a headlock and stabbed seven times with scissors, suffering a fractured leg and other injuries.
The accused, Jerry Sowood, 27, has been reported as a Liberian-born African immigrant. In court, he sarcastically remarked: “At least they’re both still breathing.”

Confronting footage from Runcorn, Brisbane shows two men armed with a hammer and machete during a road rage clash with two Afghan men, before turning on a truck driver who began filming them.
The driver was allegedly dragged into a struggle after the men demanded his phone and keys, with one accused of trying to stab him through the truck window. Both men were charged over the incident.
One of them, Echibaketa Byamungu, has since pleaded guilty and will be sentenced next week. Just one day after the road rage attack, he was spared jail for a separate assault on a Brisbane bus driver.

A war memorial at Dobie in western Victoria has been vandalised, with its commemorative plaque stolen and an Aboriginal flag, “land back” and “lest we forget the frontier wars” spray-painted across it.
It comes just weeks after the nearby Beaufort war memorial was also defaced with slogans including “death to Australia” and “death to the ADF.”

Pauline Hanson has accused Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers of inflaming political tensions after Albanese told Labor supporters: “Across the world hard right populists are on the march. Peddling politics that is dangerous, divisive and downright dishonest.”
He then added: “We simply must defeat them. We owe it to history.”
The comments came just after One Nation flipped a Labor seat held for almost 20 years in WA, with a new poll now putting the party ahead of Labor nationally, 30% to 29%.
