Woman charged, four men hospitalised after alleged stabbing rampage in regional Victoria

A woman has been charged after she allegedly went on a stabbing spree in a regional Victorian town, attacking four men who were all left hospitalised.

The 24-year-old Ravenhall woman’s rampage allegedly began at a supermarket on Nicholson St in Bairnsdale at about 9:50pm on Thursday.

Investigators received reports that a woman in her 20s was behaving erratically and approaching people in the shop.

It is alleged she advanced towards a male staff member and stabbed him in the stomach before fleeing the store.

The 45-year old man was rushed to hospital and remains in a serious condition.

The woman then made her way to a nearby fast-food store, where she approached a 21-year-old man sitting in his car and demanded that he give her a lift.

An altercation ensued in the car park, and the man was also allegedly slashed, receiving a minor laceration to his stomach.

Police believe the woman then walked to a nearby hotel on Macleod St, where she allegedly assaulted a 52-year-old, striking him on the arm.

The woman’s alleged fourth and final victim was stabbed in the shoulder, as their paths crossed while she headed towards Bairnsdale Train Station.

She will appear before Bairnsdale Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
