Woman stabbed while taking out her bin in shocking random attack
A Queensland woman has been stabbed repeatedly while taking out her rubbish bins in a shocking random attack.
A man with a knife attacked the 35-year-old outside her Pimlico home on Halloween night, leaving her with extensive wounds to her chest and arms.
Queensland Police say preliminary information suggests the woman was wheeling rubbish bins outside of a home on Latchford Street when the attack occurred.
She was transported toTownsville Base Hospital hospital, where she remains in a serious condition.
The alleged assailant was arrested in a park a short time after the attack, which happened at about 9.20pm.
Police say the pair do not know each other and the attack appears to be random.
The alleged offender has been charged with acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and is due to face Townsville Magistrates Court on Thursday.
