A homeless, hepatitis C-positive man who jabbed four victims with a syringe or a nail escaped from hospital after he was arrested, a Melbourne court has been told.
Brett Keenan, 42, has pleaded guilty to attacking a 12-year-old boy at a tram stop at Kew on February 18 last year with a sharp object, and three adults on February 20.
Keenan, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was living at a rooming house at Kew, was arrested on the afternoon of February 18 and taken to hospital.
While awaiting examination, Keenan escaped the hospital and was listed as a missing person.
Two days later, he attacked three adults, again with a sharp object, either at tram stops or onboard trams.
Police found Keenan that afternoon at the rooming house, finding numerous unopened needles inside the unit.
