A man murdered at least six people by stabbing them with a knife inside Bondi Junction Westfield on Saturday afternoon.
Numerous others have been taken to hospital with critical injuries. The attacker was shot dead by police at the scene.
Witnesses called Triple Zero. A police inspector who happened to be nearby went into the shopping centre on her own, and was directed by bystanders to the location of the attacker, who was by this point on level five. While police were not ruling anything out at these early stages, “there’s nothing we are aware of at the scene that would indicate any motive or any ideology”, Cooke said.Nine News
At a joint press conference with Albanese in Canberra, Kershaw said it was too early to give any assessment about whether terrorism was the attacker’s motive, but “all the agencies are working together to make that assessment”.Rachel Clun
