A man who assaulted three paramedics, two police officers, a PSO, a bus driver and a shop attendant has escaped jail time.
Aroub Arop pleaded guilty to 44 charges for offences carried out between 2017 and 2020, including the assaults, and was handed an 18 month community corrections order.
The 21-year-old, who was intoxicated at the time of the assaults, has promised the court he will stop drinking alcohol.
In one incident, Arop stormed a bus in Albion, assaulted the bus driver and then assaulted a detective who was called to the scene.
In another case, Arop attacked three paramedics who attempted to assist him when he was found intoxicated on a Melton nature strip.
They tried to help him into the ambulance when he lashed out, causing significant damage to the ambulance.
