Magistrate Doug Dick adjourned the case to Batemans Bay Local Court on Friday, May 27, after it was agreed 27-year-old Samantha Joyce Perry should be present in court during her bail application.
Magistrate David O’Connor had in April adjourned the case to Bega Local Court on June 28, ordering Perry undergo a psychiatric assessment.
Perry is charged with wounding with intent to murder and assault occasioning grievous bodily harm after she allegedly stabbed a 42-year-old woman in the neck outside Sapphire Marketplace’s Big W store on April 23.
It’s understood Perry and the woman, who was in a wheelchair at the time, were involved in an argument in an elevator prior to the alleged incident.
Police allege Perry fled the scene, but attended Bega Police Station later that day, handing in the weapon.
Perry will appear in Batemans Bay on Friday via Audio Visual Link from South Coast Correctional Centre.
