NSW Police has addressed rumours that the 16-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and a priest during a service at a church in Sydney’s southwest on Monday night had his finger cut off after the attack.
Police have addressed reports that the 16- year-old boy who allegedly stabbed a prominent bishop and priest had his finger cut off after the attack.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb confirmed that the alleged offender had been in surgery on Tuesday morning but said it was “really too early to say” what had happened to his finger. When asked by a reporter if she knew whether the crowd in their anger had cut off the teenager’s finger or whether his own knife had caused the rumoured injury, Ms Webb said the answer would be determined “through statements from witnesses and victims” but agreed that it was an important point.
Earlier reports claimed at least one of the teenager’s fingers was severed by parishioners after they pulled him off Bishop Emmanuel at the church about 7pm on Monday evening.High level souces have confirmed the 16-year-old was responsible for the injury to just one of his fingers, which occurred during the attack.
