Photo: GettyA mentally ill Afghan refugee who mowed down 18 pedestrians in Melbourne will be formally interviewed by police today. Australian citizen Saeed Noori was discharged from hospital on Friday and taken to the Melbourne Custody Centre where he remained in custody overnight, as three people fight for their lives in hospital following Thursday's attack. Police said a 32-year-old Heidelberg West man has been taken to a police station for a formal interview on Saturday. Noori, who has drug and mental health issues, made "utterances" to police about voices, dreams and the "poor treatment of Muslims" to officers in hospital on Thursday night. Mr Patton says the driver was on a mental health plan, but missed a scheduled appointment on Thursday morning.
