Psycho who bashed a heavily-pregnant woman at a café in an unprovoked Islamophobic attack makes bizarre court appearance claiming he was drugged by authorities who told him 'you're schizophrenic and can't have children'
- Stipe Lozina, 43, brutally attacked a pregnant woman at Bay Vista in Parramatta
- Lozina pleaded guilty to bashing Rana Elasmar at a cafe in November last year
- On Friday in court appearance, he shouted: 'f**k the system' and walked out
A man who was captured in sickening footage bashing a heavily pregnant Muslim woman at a Sydney cafe has bizarrely stormed out of a court appearance.
Stipe Lozina, 43, has pleaded guilty to assaulting expecting mother Rana Elasmar at Bay Vista Cafe in Parramatta in November last year.
Appearing via video link at Parramatta District Court on Friday, Lozina shouted 'f*** the system', before abruptly leaving.
The 43-year-old appeared without any legal representation and was due to be given a date for sentencing by Judge Siobhan Herbert.
He said his medication had been increased by health authorities and claimed the department told him: 'you're schizophrenic and you can't have children'.

He then shouted 'F**k the system' before leaving the appearance, The Daily Telegraph reported.
'I guess the matter's adjourned,' Justice Herbert said.
'He would be helped by having a lawyer involved but that's Mr Lozina's choice.'
CCTV footage taken on November 20 shows the 43-year-old calmly approaching Ms Elasmar who was sitting with friends around a cafe table.
He then unleashes a barrage of punches and begins stomping on her head before other diners intervene and pull him away.
Ms Elasmar, a Muslim woman, was wearing a religious headscarf at the time of the unprovoked attack.
She was also 38 weeks pregnant and was punched a total of 14 times as well as being stomped on twice.

Justice Herbert ordered a NSW Justice Health report to determine the urgency of the case.
Lozina is expected to face court again on July 14.
Despite the horrific assault, Ms Elasmar gave birth to a healthy boy, Zayn, just three weeks after.
Hundreds of wellwishers sent her messages of support and hoped the unborn child was not harmed in the cowardly attack.
