An Ambulance Victoria officer who was slashed with a knife while buckling her kids into the car on the way home from work was just a centimetres from suffering life-threatening injuries in what has been called an “abhorrent” attack. The paramedic, who did not reveal her name, said she was attacked on Friday at Rosebud, south-east of Melbourne, after finishing her shift. “I feel scared, I feel shocked. I feel disappointed. I have a lot of emotions running at the moment,” she said. She had picked up her daughters, aged four and six, and stopped into to pick up some fish and chips. She was buckling her kids into the car when someone came up behind her and put his arm around her throat, before realising the person had a knife.

Antoinetta Fasciale was charged this week with dangerous driving causing death following a collision in March in Bulleen, where the man on the scooter was hit. The man she hit, Donald Johnston, died in hospital that day. Ms Fasciale is also charged with careless driving. Police allege she failed to stop at the line on the road when the traffic light was red. Ms Fasciale, who appeared in court with a handful of family members, is banned from driving under her bail conditions. However defence counsel Darryl Burnett requested her bail be amended so she could take part in a scheduled driving test with VicRoads. Prosecutor Michael Roper did not oppose the application. Ms Fasciale’s bail was altered so the only way she can legally drive is by taking part in lessons under the supervision of VicRoads, or when undergoing a test. Her lawyer also flagged an application to change her bail so Ms Fasciale could one day visit her son and grandchildren in the United States. An overseas holiday had been planned, Mr Burnett said, but was “now not happening”. Ms Fasciale is currently prohibited from travelling overseas and possessing a passport. She must also live at her Bulleen address and not contact prosecution witnesses as part of her bail conditions. Magistrate Tara Hartnett extended bail for the accused woman to return to court in August.
