Fijian man charged after Melbourne Cup night rampage in Sydney

A Fijian man was arrested in Carriageworks, Sydney, Australia on Wednesday after violently assaulting a woman and stabbing two men in Darlington on Tuesday night.  

Owen Turagavuli, 43, was believed to have been booted from an inner-city Melbourne Cup function.  

A CCTV footage, published by 7News Australia, captured Turagavuli carrying a box of beer.

He was heard shouting at the two women he was walking with before violently hitting one of them.  

Two men, who saw what had happened, tried to stop him, but quickly became victims of an angry man.  

Turagavuli was seen throwing a punch and smashing an outdoor restaurant menu board on one of the men.  

While the Police were called to the scene, the bloody rampage did not stop. Turagavuli later pulled out a beer bottle and stabbed the two men, aged 47 and 57.  

“Really violent, completely unacceptable. It's an unprovoked targeting of those witnesses who gathered around out of concern for the female who alleges the victim of the domestic violence,” South Sydney Police, SUPT Andrew Garner, said to 7News.  

As the men laid injured, their attacker grabbed another beer and disappeared.  

Both men spent the night in hospital needing treatment and stitches for cuts.  

Turagavuli fronted court yesterday on nine serious charges.
