A driver allegedly ran down a violent home invader in “retaliation” after two men broke into his home and assaulted two women while screaming for drugs and money, a court has heard.
On Tuesday, Gregory Trevor Lamont, 29, appeared in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court, where he was granted supervised bail over the violent series of events in Adelaide’s northern suburbs just after midday on Monday.
Prosecutors told the court Mr Lamont’s Davoren Park family home was the target of an armed robbery, allegedly perpetrated by Deng Ajang Alaak Yuot, 20, and Nicholas Vasili Dimitry, 18.
The court heard it is alleged the two men robbers – armed with a tomahawk axe and machete – entered the home and yelled, “where’s the drugs, where’s the money”, before assaulting two women.
Mr Lamont then allegedly struck Mr Dimitry with a silver sedan as the alleged offended fled the scene.
Prosecutors opposed all forms of bail for Mr Lamont due to the serious nature of the alleged offending but conceded it was “unique circumstances”.
Magistrate Edward Stratton-Smith described the alleged hit-and-run as “retaliation” for the home invasion.
Mr Lamont is yet to enter a plea with one count of causing harm with intent, and leaving an accident scene after causing harm.
Counsel for Mr Lamont said his client had limited criminal history, and if remanded in custody, could be held behind bars for a substantial period of time.
Mr Stratton-Smith released Mr Lamont on supervised bail to live with his grandmother in Torrensville, and will front court in late August.
According to court documents, Mr Yuot and Mr Dimitry allegedly broke into the home on Mainwaring Cres in Davoren Park and allegedly assaulted two woman with a machete and tomahawk axe.

He remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
During their first appearance, Mr Yuot, from Andrews Farm, and Mr Dimitry, from Marleston, both made no application for bail.
Both men were remanded in custody to return to court in August.
