Description

A man, Lauren Darul, accused of a random stabbing in Melbourne, appeared delusional and claimed to be a king before the alleged incident. Darul, who uses he/him pronouns, is charged with intentionally causing injury after allegedly stabbing sushi chef Wan Lai. Daruls mental health declined before the attack, and he appeared in court via video link from a secure prison hospital. His legal team seeks bail with hospital inpatient status, while police and prosecutors argue he poses an unacceptable risk to the community. Daruls mental health history includes past delusional thoughts and paranoid schizophrenia.
