A shirtless African man has been arrested in Melbourne after allegedly stabbing his cousin and sister and ramming a home with a stolen car in a terrifying cross-city rampage.
The 27-year-old was arrested in Epping on Tuesday morning after almost two days on the run following the alleged stabbing of a 40-year-old man at a property on Bradman Terrace in the same suburb at 7.30am on Sunday.
He then allegedly travelled across the city to Dandenong North and deliberately drove a silver Honda CRV wagon into his sister and mother’s home on Exner Street at about 10.15am.
