00:00In the space of just 15 minutes, police allege 24-year-old Ebony Pedretti stabbed four men on Thursday night in Bairnsdale.
00:10Police say that shortly before 10 o'clock last night, she was in the local Woolworths when she was acting erratically and speaking to numerous people.
00:20She has then allegedly stabbed a 45-year-old man who worked at the supermarket.
00:25He was flown to the Alfred Hospital where he's in a serious but stable condition.
00:30Police allege she then walked across the road to a McDonald's car park and attacked another man after he refused her a lift.
00:38Ms Pedretti then walked to the Grand Terminus Hotel where she allegedly cut the arm of a 52-year-old man
00:44before crossing the road to the railway station and allegedly stabbing a 24-year-old man in the shoulder.
00:51Victoria Police Inspector Mark Rossiter says last night's events were an isolated incident.
00:56It was a significant incident which would have been quite confronting for those involved and be quite confronting for community members to see that an incident like that's occurred in our community.
01:06So as a result of that, we're increasing our patrols around the Bairnsdale CBD.
01:13In the Bairnsdale Magistrates Court this afternoon, Defence lawyer Lauren Campbell told the court that Ms Pedretti was unable to appear.
01:22She was refusing to leave her custody cell at the Bairnsdale Police Station and was likely drug affected.
01:28She's been charged with recklessly causing injury and intentionally causing injury and she'll appear in the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court on Monday.
