BRADDON, Australia — A man who crashed his getaway skateboard after a failed attempt to rob a Braddon restaurant with a blood-filled syringe has been sentenced to more than six years jail.
Benjamin Roy Flowers, 38, was sentenced on Tuesday for two separate offences, including a Swiss Army knife stabbing near the Northbourne Flats in 2010, and the attempted robbery of Delissio Brasserie last year.
Flowers was drunk and had taken Ritalin tablets when he entered Delissio in late October.
He attempted to disguise his face from staff, while wielding a blood-filled syringe and demanding they hand over money.
