A prestigious private school graduate who was allegedly stabbed by his own mother has avoided conviction for damaging his father s multimillion-dollar terrace house.
Hugo Ball, 23, went to live with his father after he was allegedly stabbed by his mother at his family s $3million Bellevue Hill property on November 21.
Just weeks later the troubled laborer was accused of damaging his new digs with cops issuing a restraining order on his father Ian s behalf.
He was arrested on December 27 for damaging the front shutters of his Dad s $5.5million property in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Paddington.
