Jayden James Spakianos charged after allegedly stabbing random man at Noarlunga Centre interchange

An innocent man was allegedly stabbed at random by a drug-fuelled teenager who’s been charged over two stabbings in a month, a court has heard

A teenager will spend the majority of the rest of the year in custody on remand after allegedly stabbing an innocent man at random as he headed home from work.

Jayden James Spakianos, 18, appeared in the Christies Beach Magistrate Court on Monday after he was charged with aggravated causing serious harm.

The court heard the alleged victim was at Noarlunga Centre on September 3 on his way home from work when Mr Spakianos and another male allegedly began to taunt him.

“The defendant and the other male were drug-affected, yelling at each other, then stared at the victim,” the police prosecutor said.

“The defendant then (allegedly) approaches the victim, saying, ‘I will kill this guy’, before stabbing him in the back”.

The court heard the man was left with a punctured lung, blood in his chest cavity and a collapsed lung.

The alleged victim, Scott Wimshurst, 25, told 7 News on Monday night that it was the scariest moment of his life and that he panicked as he feared he would bleed to death.

Admitting he thought he would die, he said his body went cold as he felt a warm liquid shoot down his back as he travelled home from work.

Hailing down a bus driver, he then asked paramedics to delay his trip to hospital so he could provide a description of the events.

“Even while it was happening, I was wondering … is this real?” he told 7 News.

“Immediately my first thought was. I’ve been stabbed – ‘oh my god, am I going to die’.

“The only thing that was crossing my mind was, if I die, I'm going to make sure he gets caught. Because, you know, I don’t want to die for nothing.”

He was in a stable condition in the Flinders Medical Centre last night.

The police prosecutor opposed all forms of bail, telling the court it was the second time Mr Spakianos had stabbed someone this year.

In the earlier incident, police allege that on August 17 of this year, Mr Spakianos stabbed a security guard again at the Noarlunga Centre, but was released on simple bail.

“He poses a significant risk to the community … he has shown he can’t be relied upon to comply with any bail conditions set by the court,” the prosecutor said.

Mr Spakianos’ defence counsel told the court his client denied the allegations.

“There are significant investigations that need to be undertaken but also by the prosecution who are obtaining CCTV,” she said. “Mr Spakianos has no history as an adult.’

Magistrate Kylie Schulz refused bail.

Mr Spakianos will face court again in December.
