The order was made to protect the same 39-year-old woman he allegedly stabbed in the neck, back and ear outside a gym at Alexandria on Wednesday.

Monteleone appeared in Manly Local Court via a video-link from Surry Hills police station wearing what appeared to be a hospital gown.

He handed himself in to police on Thursday, nearly 24 hours after investigators say he lay in wait for the woman outside Crunch Fitness before attacking her with a kitchen knife.

She was treated by paramedics for multiple stab wounds before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Monteleone only spoke to confirm he could hear as his lawyer told the court there would be no application for bail.

Magistrate Robyn Denes formally refused bail and the 45-year-old will remain in custody until the matter returns to court in July.

She instructed the court registry to advise the State Parole Authority that Monteleone’s intensive corrections order, which she placed him on in April, would be revoked.

He was to serve an 18-month sentence in the community, which required him to not commit any further offences and do a domestic abuse program as well as be subject to mandatory supervision.

The intensive corrections order was granted despite Monteleone claiming in an interview with police that he did not read the conditions of the AVO he had twice breached.

The contraventions included emailing the woman 14 times in two days, leaving multiple voice messages from a private number and calling her seven times in 12 minutes, according to court documents.

He denied following her as she drove to a police station to report the breaches.

The woman sought the AVO after ending their eight-week relationship.
