Victor Jordan Oliver has pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal damage and one count of being armed to cause fear after attacking vehicles, including a bus full of schoolchildren, with a samurai sword on March 1.
Oliver, 23, appearing in Geraldton Magistrate’s Court, sought bail to stay at a rural property outside of Geraldton.
Oliver is accused of brandishing a sword and walking out onto Rifle Range Road to attack cars as Rangeway residents drove their children to school at 8.10am on March 1.
There was no plea entered for a charge of carrying an article with intent to cause fear which involved Oliver allegedly running around with two kitchen knives on February 16.
A bail report is being prepared, and Oliver will appear again on April 14.
