Five children have been charged in connection with the stabbing of an Orthodox Christian bishop at a Western Sydney church. A joint counterterrorism team involving 400 police officers undertook 13 raids at several homes across Sydney on Wednesday morning in response to the stabbing attack at a Wakeley church in the city’s south-west. In a statement, NSW Police said five juveniles had been charged following the arrests of seven boys.
NSW Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson said the loosely connected group posed an “unacceptable risk and threat” to the state. “The execution of those warrants is continuing,” he said. “I can assure the community there is no ongoing threat to the community and the action we have taken has mitigated any risk of future or further harm.
