A 16-year-old boy allegedly stabbed an Uber driver multiple times without prior interaction, leading to critical injuries and charges of grievous bodily harm and armed robbery.
- Early on Wednesday, a 16-year-old boy was charged after a 32-year-old woman, Uber driver, was found semi-conscious with critical stab wounds at Westfield Coomera shopping centre car park about 1.25am.
- Police say the passenger booked the ride from Hope Island and was the only passenger on the trip to Coomera; officers said there was no sign of an argument and police believe the attack was random.

- He faced Southport Children's Court on Thursday and did not apply for bail; Magistrate Mark Bamberry remanded him in custody and adjourned the matter to October 29.
