Police defy bail order

The 16-year-old, accused of assaulting his girlfriend before waving a knife at Tour Down Under spectators at Willunga on Saturday, was arrested after an onlooker tackled and disarmed him.

Although police opposing bail told a duty magistrate that the youth could not tell them where he lived, bail was granted on condition he provide an address within 24 hours.

Concerned for the safety of the youth's alleged victim, police then used provisions of the Bail Act to remand him to the Magill Training Centre and will today ask the Supreme Court to overturn the magistrate's order.
