UPDATE: Monday 23 November

It has been reported today that the young girl has been updated to a stable condition at the Ballarat Base Hospital.

She is believed to have suffered stab wounds in a number of areas, including her upper body.

It is believed the man who was arrested for the attack lives at the same complex, but is not related to the young girl.

“Police are currently conducting a door knock of the area in the hopes of speaking to witnesses,” Senior Sergeant Robinson said on Sunday.

Apparently it could be some time before the man in custody is interviewed, “because of exceptional circumstances”.

It is believed residents of the low-cost residential facility are believed to include people with disabilities.

  • Shocking! It never ceases to amaze me to hear of violence against society’s more helpless members. Stabbing a little girl, oh my god! I’m waiting to hear his pathetic excuse ‘I was high on drugs!’ Doesn’t convince me at all!

  • It’s hard to imaging how this can happen – who could and why would this ever happen. So terribly awful. Just horrid whether the perpetrator is known to the family or not.

  • How shocking – can’t imagine anyone hurting a 5 year old – suppose he will get off with a reduced sentence because he was under the influence of ice.
