00:00A 24 year old woman is in custody after being charged with allegedly stabbing four men in Bansdale in East Gippsland overnight.
00:10Police allege 24 year old woman Miss Ebony Pedretti stabbed four men including a worker at the local Woolworth supermarket just before 10pm.
00:19He was flown to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and is in a serious but stable condition.
00:24Police say Miss Pedretti then walked across the road to what is a very busy car park for fast food outlets and has asked for a lift from a 21 year old man who's refused.
00:34Police say they had an altercation and the man was slashed across the stomach.
00:39Police then allege Miss Pedretti walked a few hundred metres to a local pub where she's had an altercation with a 52 year old man and allegedly cut his arm.
00:48They allege she then continued onto the Bansdale railway station and stabbed a 24 year old man in the shoulder.
00:54This is an isolated incident but a significant incident which would have been quite confronting for those involved and be quite confronting for community members to see that an incident like that's occurred in our community.
01:05So as a result of that we're increasing our patrols around the Bansdale CBD.
01:13In the Bansdale Magistrates Court this afternoon defence lawyer Lauren Campbell told the court Miss Pedretti was likely drug affected and refused to leave her custody cell at the Bansdale police station.
01:23She's been charged with recklessly causing injury and intentionally causing injury and has been remanded to appear before the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court on Monday.
