MAN’S DAMAGE SPREE: ARSON AND THREATS
■ Emergency workers were confronted with a series of incidents from a man across the northern suburbs, Police charged a man following multiple incidents in North Coburg and Glenroy on Saturday, February 24. It is alleged the agitated man threw items at staff, causing damage to a glass window, at a motor inn on Sydney Rd in North Coburg about 6.40am. Later in the day, officers were called when it is believed the same man approached paramedics when they were responding to an incident at Post Office Place in Glenroy about 12.30pm. It is understood a verbal altercation occurred between the man and the paramedics, before the paramedics retreated away from the ambulance. Police will allege the man damaged the ambulance and scratched into the bonnet. The man then attended a payphone in Sydney Rd, near Spry St, in North Coburg and tried to set it on fire before he allegedly lit a fire in a skip bin nearby. Police arrested the 40-year-old man at the corner of Sydney and Boundary Rds shortly after. He was charged with criminal damage (arson), criminal damage and commit indictable offence whilst on bail. The man, of no fixed address, was remanded in custody to appear before Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court.
