A video captures the moment a man armed with a shopping centre bollard confronts a knife-wielding attacker in Bondi Junction Westfield. The confrontation's outcome is not shown in the clip.
A short but dramatic video taken inside Bondi Junction Westfield has captured the moment a lone man armed with a shopping centre bollard confronted the knife-wielding attacker on an escalator.
The clip showed the man standing at the top of an escalator, holding the bollard up in the air like a projectile, with its heavy base pointed toward the attacker, and moving toward him. Meanwhile, the attacker was moving up the stairs, clutching a knife. But the five-second clip did not show how the confrontation concluded.
The footage of the man on the escalator evoked similar acts of bravery from members of the public during previous tragedies.
