Milica Stamenkovic, who allegedly slashed security guard at Elizabeth, appears in court

A woman who allegedly slashed a security guard while fleeing with stolen property at Elizabeth is a “danger to the public”, a court has heard.

A woman who allegedly slashed a shopping centre security guard leaving deep lacerations is a “danger to the public”, a court has heard.

On Thursday, Milica Stamenkovic – the first of two sisters charged over the incident on Wednesday to front court – appeared from the Elizabeth Magistrates Court cells before Auxiliary Magistrate Yoon Fee Chin.

Ms Stamenkovic, 27, of Andrews Farm, is alleged to have been in possession of stolen items from Big W in the Elizabeth City Centre when a guard from within pursued them to the Elizabeth Interchange.

Ms Stamenkovic is yet to enter a plea to one count of aggravated theft using force, and one count of assaulting a police officer.

The court heard Ms Stamenkovic produced a razor blade as he caught up to her and her sister, 27, and slashed him twice across the forearm – with the incident allegedly captured on video from a body-worn camera and witness recordings.

Ms Stamenkovic’s sister will face court for the first time at a later date charged with one count of theft.

The court heard the guard suffered deep lacerations and required surgery after being transported to hospital.

Police prosecutors alleged Ms Stamenkovic was arrested a short time later, and punched an officer on the arm and wrist in an attempt to resist arrest – causing injury to the SAPOL officer.

Prosecutors told the court Ms Stamenkovic posed a “danger” to the community and her offending “put members of the public at risk”.

She is being considered for home detention bail so she can maintain her mental health medications.

The court heard the 27-year-old had recently been convicted of 11 counts of like offending including assault, disorderly behaviour, resisting arrest and theft in the District Court in February this year and was on three bail agreements at the time of arrest.

Counsel for Ms Stamenkovic said his client had mental health issues that would be best addressed on bail, and a forensic mental health representative in the court told Mr Chin Ms Stamenkovic would be best served under supervision or on home detention.

The court heard following her arrest, Ms Stamenkovic had been administered a “missed” dose of medication to treat her mental health conditions.

Mr Chin ordered a home detention inquiry report, noting that he considered nothing less than home detention to align with the submissions made by the forensic mental health representative’s submissions.

Ms Stamenkovic was remanded to face court again next week.
