A Warburton man who allegedly stabbed four people during a nasty fight in the Yarra Ranges is at risk of taking his own life in custody, a court has heard.
Aaron Shahin, 36, faced Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after he was charged with counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury, recklessly causing injury, possession of a drug of dependence and firearms and weapons offences.
Police allege an altercation took place at a property on Comongin Ave near Brisbane Hill Rd on Tuesday about 7pm.
It’s believed the alleged fight was over a car that was damaged in Wesburn earlier on in the day.
Two 29-year-old Millgrove men, a 49-year-old Yarra Junction man and a 37-year-old Warburton woman were taken to hospital with non-life threatening stab wounds.
It’s understood that all five people allegedly involved were known to one another.
During the hearing, prosecution made an application to uplift the matter to the County Court.
Shahin’s lawyer Alexis Kaczmarek said her client had told police and herself that he was going to take his own life in custody.
Ms Kaczmarek said Mr Shahin had multiple suicide attempts in the past and was on medication for his mental health.
Mr Shahin was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on April 14.
