A 26-year-old man was drug-affected when he stole a car at a Delacombe retirement village before stabbing and biting the manager during a frightening footchase. Timothy Cakebread cannot remember the serious incident at the Meadow Gardens Retirement Village in the early hours of July 7, 2017. The Ballarat man, who has only spent seven weeks in the community on parole in his adult life, was on bail at the time. He pleaded guilty at the County Court in Ballarat on Tuesday to a string of charges relating to the incident, including recklessly causing injury, theft, unlawful assault, trespassing, possessing a dangerous article and committing an indictable offence while on bail.
