A terrifying incident occurred late at night in Melbourne's west, where innocent people were targeted in a brutal machete ambush. According to police, the suspect, 21-year-old Madut Aropp, even recorded himself during the attack in Caroline Springs before retreating to his own house.
The investigations revealed that Aropp had been wielding a machete and causing terror among his neighbors without any apparent reason. CCTV footage captured one of the confrontations, and it showed the severity of the situation. A 54-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were seriously injured, and another neighbor's home was also targeted, with visible marks on the front door.
When the authorities were alerted, the young man barricaded himself inside his home, which was just across the road. As per reports, much of the incident was recorded on a Snapchat video that was allegedly filmed by Aropp and shared on his private account. However, during the court hearing, Aropp's lawyer argued that he was vulnerable due to his young age and his possible withdrawal from alcohol.
Despite the lawyer's argument, Aropp will remain behind bars overnight and will face the Sunshine Magistrates Court tomorrow. This latest example of knife crime in the area has left the locals feeling frightened and scared. Marlena, a local resident, shared how they avoid going out late at night because of such incidents. She expressed her fear by saying, "We don't go out at night too late because of this whole kind of concept because it is scary, because you think, what if it's you, it could happen to you."
