A father has told how there was 'blood everywhere' when an ISIS-inspired woman wearing a burqa and staying at his house screamed 'Allahu Akbar' as she allegedly stabbed him in the neck.

Momena Shoma, a Bangladeshi student, allegedly attacked the man as he was sleeping in front of his five-year-old daughter, who watched in horror.

Roger Singaravelu, 56, felt a 'sharp pain in his neck' when he claims he saw Shoma leaning over him with a kitchen knife in her hand screaming 'Allahu Akbar' in Melbourne, the Herald Sun reported.

'I reactively grabbed on to the knife and fought (her) off, my daughter was screaming nearby, and I told her to run and hide,' he told the publication.

'There was blood everywhere. I ran outside with my daughter and got the attention of neighbours, who assisted me.'

Shoma allegedly stabbed Singaravelu in the neck in February at his Callistemon Rise home in Mill Park, northeast of Melbourne.

Police charged Shoma with one count of engaging in a terrorist attack after allegedly being inspired by Islamic State.

It was the first time Mr Singaravelu has opened up about the incident, according to the Herald Sun , and he is still 'traumatised' by the experience.

'She still sees blood on the wall and asks me to clean it off, although there is nothing there,' he told the publication.

Shoma attended North South University (pictured) until late 2017 - the same institution where a group of men linked to Bangladesh's worst act of terrorism were students

Police charged the woman with engaging in a terrorist act in February, and it’s alleged she was inspired by terror group Islamic State.

Shoma travelled to Melbourne on February 1 on a student visa and was renting a room at Mr Singaravelu's property while studying at La Trobe University.

A legal battle between Mr Singaravelu and the organisation which arranged the placement is allegedly brewing, the Herald Sun reports.

Australian Homestay Network told the publication they are cooperating with police.
