Paul Gali, 32, has pleaded guilty to attacking two police officers in Rothwell, north of Brisbane, with a knife on May 1, 2023. He was sentenced to five years in prison for his actions, which included climbing over a police vehicle and charging at the officers with a raised knife.
A man has been jailed for five years over his knife-wielding attack on two police officers who made a split-second decision not to open fire.

Wilson said the officer was retreating and attempting to strike Gali with the Taser when he was stabbed in a shoulder area that was not covered by his protective vest.
He surrendered soon after when reinforcement officers arrived and also pointed their firearms at him. "He feels a deep sense of shame, self-blame, anxiety and depression that he was a victim and he left members of the public and his police partner exposed to Gali's violence," she said. Heaton said he accepted Gali now had insight into his offending but he had committed an extremely serious offence against a police officer.
