A woman is in a critical condition after her partner allegedly stabbed her repeatedly while he was driving a car they were travelling in. Police say the car crashed into traffic on a busy Sydney highway - where the man allegedly continued his attack on good Samaritans who ran in to help.
For some motorists on the busy Princes Highway at Engadine, it seemed like an ordinary accident, with two cars colliding on Sunday morning.
"Just came flying up the road. And then he's turned up through, onto the wrong side of the road, went through through the traffic lights and as he's come through the lights there he's been t-boned. And then when he got t-boned he came out and yeah tried to slash up his partner. Police come up here and he's managed to slash up a couple of other people and another policeman and that too.
"As the community members were assisting one of the females out of one vehicle the male got out of that vehicle. He was armed with what we believe to be a box cutter, and the female had obviously sustained a number of injuries from an altercation inside that vehicle... That male was engaged by the police. A short foot pursuit occurred. A taser deployment was initiated and that person was taken into custody.
