A young man who allegedly attacked two Perth fast food workers with a meat cleaver nearly a decade ago has been extradited back to Western Australia.

Leroy Tawanda Tsuro today was back in police custody in Australia after giving them the slip in 2016 and allegedly fleeing to New Zealand.

The police allege that the 26-year-old mocked the detectives investigating him from across the Tasman, emulating the Leonardo DiCaprio movie when he supposedly called the detectives and said: “catch me, if you can”.

The then-18-year-old had been interviewed by police the day before catching a flight from Perth to Auckland.

He is purportedly seen on camera at Morley McDonald’s during a late-night robbery with another individual, accused of threatening and injuring two employees with large meat cleavers while demanding money.

In February of the previous year, WA Police initially attempted to extradite Tsuro from New Zealand, but the 26-year-old contested the action in the High Court, eventually losing the case.

Today he was back in Perth and went before a magistrate.

He applied for bail after being charged with aggravated armed robbery.

The court was told one fast food worker had a meat cleaver held to her throat as two men yelled out, “open the f—ing safe”.

Tsuro is also accused of hitting a staff member on the leg, cutting them.

The magistrate heard his co-offender was jailed for four and a half years. Tsuro was denied bail and remanded in custody to reappear in July.
