A psychiatric assessment has been ordered for a man accused of trying to kill two people and seriously injuring another Monday night.

Thirty-two-year-old Mitchell Rose was arrested shortly after the spree of violent attacks on Anspach Street in the west end of St. John’s.

Police, who were called around 7:00 p.m. about a man screaming and banging on doors, arrived to find two women with serious injuries, and a man assaulted nearby.

Rose faces two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated assault, three counts of assault with a weapon, two of assault causing bodily harm, and uttering death threats.

He appeared briefly in court yesterday and was sent for tests to determine if he is mentally fit to face the charges.

Rose is due back in court this afternoon for the results of the assessment.
