嫌犯嫌伊玛目开车太慢,超车别车砸车打人。
嫌犯之一Brendan Nicholls,事发时背负多项家暴指控保释中。伴侣与他生育俩娃,曾被他殴打掐脖子,但仍出庭支持他。被拒绝保释后,当庭逃跑被按住。
Dramatic scenes have erupted in a suburban courtroom after one of the men behind the alleged attack on a Melbourne Islamic leader and his wife was denied bail.
Brendan Nicholls, 23, who was already out on bail, fronted the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday where he fought to be freed again.
But when Magistrate Hugh Radford declared that he would remain behind bars, Mr Nicholls leapt to his feet and tried to jump out of the dock.
His hands managed to clasp the top of the transparent panelling that separates the dock from the public gallery before he was swiftly restrained by custody officers.
His mum, who gave evidence on his behalf, rushed over amid the chaos.
“Brendan, calm down,” she repeatedly begged.
“Babe! This is f--ked,” he yelled to his pregnant partner as she sobbed uncontrollably.
One of the women shouted “I love you” as he was dragged away.
Loud bangs and screams could be heard after Mr Nicholls left the courtroom.
Earlier, the court heard how the Imam of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Islamic Society, Ismet Purdic, and his wife were driving along the South Gippsland Hwy in Dandenong South about 7.40pm on Saturday in their Toyota before they were allegedly attacked.
Detective Senior Constable Courtney Milner said a Volkswagen, driven by Mr Nicholls’ co-accused was travelling behind Mr Purdic, who was driving under the speed limit.
The court heard the co-accused beeped his horn and overtook Mr Purdic before starting to drive “erratically”.
“He did not allow Mr Purdic to … move away,” she said of the co-accused.
“It is alleged (he) at one stage attempted to side swipe Mr Purdic’s vehicle, yelling ‘不雅 off b--ch, Muslim b--ch’ and sticking his middle finger up at both the victims.”
When the traffic came to a stop near a service station, Mr Nicholls and his co-accused exited their Volkswagen and approached the Toyota.
The court heard they allegedly punched and kicked the Toyota, smashing the driver’s side mirror.
When Mr Purdic hopped out, he was allegedly punched to the face by Mr Nicholls.
Good Samaritans at the service station intervened, forcing the pair to flee in the Volkswagen.
Constable Milner told the court Mr Nicholls is also accused of attacking his partner and the mother of his two young children in late December, including by punching her to the arm and leg and strangling her for up to a minute.
Mr Nicholls, from Cranbourne North, and his co-accused, a 22-year-old Cranbourne East man, were arrested on Sunday and charged with criminal damage and common law assault.
The court heard Mr Nicholls also faces a dozen domestic violence-related charges and has a “limited but serious” criminal history.
Constable Milner argued that the accused should remain behind bars given the risk he posed to his partner and their children.
“His behaviour is continuing to escalate,” she said.
But his defence lawyer argued that his client should be freed on bail because he could be supported through the Court Integrated Services Program (CISP), especially for his anger management.
He also noted that his partner “remains supportive” of him.
However, Mr Radford said it was “extremely concerning” that Mr Nicholls had previously disregarded court orders, adding that there were no bail conditions he could impose that would ameliorate the risk he posed.
Mr Nicholls will return to court on February 4.
