Bourke St accused's brother faces court

The brother of accused Bourke Street attacker Dimitrious Gargasoulas has appeared in a Melbourne court with a heavily bandaged arm and stitches to his head.

Angelo Gargasoulas, who is recovering from a stabbing on the morning of the deadly January 20 Bourke St rampage, faced Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Thursday over several unrelated charges including property damage and assault.

The damaged property charge relates to an incident on December 18 when the 26-year-old allegedly broke some plates valued at $100.

His lawyer applied for simple variations to his bail, such as a change to his residential address, but requested this not be made accessible to the media.

Allegedly stabbed by his brother before the latter mowed down dozens of pedestrians in a maroon sedan in Bourke St, Gargasoulas was still in hospital from his injuries earlier this week and missed a scheduled Tuesday court date.

Two days later, Gargasoulas attended court alone and visibly worse for wear.

His right arm was in a thick plaster cast wrapped with heavy bandages and he had thick stitches, including staples, over two gashes on his scalp.

Gargasoulas did not respond to reporters' questions about his brother outside the court.

He will next appear in court on February 17.
