Being shot has not stopped an alleged stabber from trying his luck and swimming away from police in regional NSW.
The 33-year-old’s ill-informed aquatic escape through the Murrumbidgee River followed his alleged stabbing of a man in Wagga Wagga.
Confirmation of his arrest on Saturday came hours after a Sydney taxi driver was arrested for allegedly stabbing a passenger on Friday night.
The Wagga incident started when the 33-year-old allegedly stabbed another man, 42, in the neck with scissors in a North Wagga Wagga park.
The younger man was then shot by a third man involved in the altercation, who fled and has not been located.
