A woman accused of stabbing a stranger on a Melbourne CBD footpath has been refused bail, with a magistrate ruling the community would be placed at unacceptable risk if she was released.
Lauren Darul, 32, is charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury over the incident on October 2, when she allegedly stabbed a woman who was on her way to work.
The incident was captured on CCTV, and showed victim Wan Lai collapsing on the ground and being helped by passers-by.
