A Wreck Bay woman is behind bars in Canberra after allegedly stabbing a paramedic in the face with a needle before laughing "hysterically" as the ambulance officer cried.
The 30-year-old was refused bail in the Jervis Bay Territory Court on Tuesday after being charged with recklessly or intentionally inflicting actual bodily harm.
Court documents say police spoke to the woman's on-and-off partner on Saturday afternoon after he became concerned about her "failing mental health".
