Canberra's top cop says there is "probably" too much focus on the privacy of mental health patients at the expense of community safety following an alleged stabbing incident at the Australian National University.
Alex Leonard Ophel, 24, had been let out of the Gawanggal Mental Health Unit, in Bruce, on Monday, September 18, when he allegedly armed himself with a frypan and a knife and made his way onto the grounds of the ANU.
