‘Lit Me up’: Patient Recalls Alleged Hospital Attack

Police charged the 48-year-old patient with attempted murder after three fellow patients were allegedly doused in accelerant and one was set on fire.

  • Police charged Raymond James Dungay, a 48-year-old patient, with attempted murder after he allegedly doused three people with accelerant and set one alight at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney on Tuesday night.
  • The attack occurred in the hospital's spinal ward, targeting 54-year-old Randovan Banic, a 63-year-old man, and a 64-year-old woman. Banic was set on fire while the other two sustained minor injuries from the accelerant.
  • Health Minister Ryan Park launched an urgent review, condemning the "shocking, appalling behaviour." Hospital staff extinguished the flames quickly after hearing screams, with the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District assisting NSW Police enquiries.
  • Dungay faces two counts of attempted murder, common assault, and two counts of attempt to cause grievous bodily harm. Shadow Minister for Health Sarah Mitchell said the incident is "beyond unacceptable in NSW," stressing safety must be non-negotiable in hospitals.
  • On Thursday, Dungay is scheduled to appear before Bail Division Court 6 via audiovisual link for a bail hearing. He is also expected to undergo mental health assessments while remaining in custody.
