Mother's face slashed after fighting off intruder with steering wheel lockA Melbourne mother has fought off a violent intruder who attacked her with a box cutter, leaving her bloodied from slash wounds to her face and arms. 9News Lucky he didn’t cut her box hey. Of course no mention of the racial background of the intruder. It wasn't that long ago the police used to release an identikit image of the suspect.
