A man has been shot dead by police after stabbing an officer and threatening others with a knife in Sydney’s southwest overnight. A member of the public raised the alarm over the 34-year-old wielding a knife on Bird Walton Ave, Middleton Grange about 10.50pm Saturday. As police arrived, the man rushed at their vehicle and stabbed the driver twice in the shoulder area of his operational vest, Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden said.
The 33-year-old senior constable then stepped in and fired two shots at the man. The officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived, but the man could not be revived. He was declared dead about 11.40pm. McFadden confirmed the man lived nearby and was known to police. “It’s a devastating thing for the family of the 34-year-old to have to come to terms with,” he said. A critical incident investigation is underway. The investigation is also subject to an independent review.
