The 43-year-old man who was allegedly responsible for the vehicular attack on independent federal MP Helen Haines will face three charges when he appears before the Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court today. Brendan Nugent has been charged with dangerous driving causing injury, intentionally causing injury and causing harm to a Commonwealth public official. Police allege that the incident was a targeted attack; it is believed that they were not able to interview Nugent on Monday night because he was still under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Haines sustained life-changing injuries and remains in a critical condition; she has lost one leg, and surgeons are trying to save her other leg.
