Alleged SA stalker to face court

An alleged knife-wielding stalker who terrorised women in Adelaide will appear in court.

The 36-year-old man is accused of stalking, threatening or assaulting five women, including a 16-year-old girl, in the southeastern suburbs since Sunday.

He was arrested after being spotted on a train and was refused bail to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday charged with attempts to detain, aggravated assault and stealing a car.
