Man accused of attacking two boys in Canberra mall had 40 'interactions' with police, court hears
In short:
The ACT Magistrates Court has heard a man charged with assaulting two young boys at a Canberra shopping centre had 40 "interactions" with police in the past two years.
Prosecutors said those interactions included a string of incidents in which the man was accused of assaulting young children and threatening staff at a primary school.
What's next?
The man's bail application was adjourned part-heard, so the court could hear evidence about how the man's parents would keep him from leaving their home without appropriate supervision.
