- Police say he was involved in a domestic stabbing incident in a suburb earlier Friday
A man threw a burning Bible into an elderly man's face and threatened to 'gouge his eyes out' before stealing his car and rampaging through Melbourne city centre, killing four and injuring at least 20 people, reports say.
The alleged driver of the car has been identified as Dimitrious 'Jimmy' Gargasoulas, a Melbourne local who was charged with family violence offences last weekend and was out on bail.
The 26-year-old has a history of mental health and drug abuse issues and police say he was also involved in a domestic stabbing incident at 2am on Friday.
After attacking his brother, Gargasoulas is accused of storming into his mother's ex-boyfriend, Gavin Wilson's, housing commission apartment and demanding the keys to his Holden Commodore.
The 76-year-old said Gargasoulas came into his flat with a Bible, set it alight and threw the burning book into his face before threatening to gouge his eye out.
'He asked me twice for (the keys) and I said "no, I'm not giving it to you",' Mr Wilson said in an interview with Seven News.
'Then he put his hand in my eye and started pressing. He said "Give them to me or I'll gouge your eye out", so I said "OK, OK".'
