A lone man went on a violent stabbing spree at a shopping centre, leaving six victims dead and several others injured. The attacker was shot and killed by a female police officer who bravely confronted him. The incident has sparked fear and chaos in the area.
Six victims are dead and more are fighting for their lives after a lone man went on a violent stabbing spree that sparked fear, horror and chaos at a Bondi Junction shopping centre on Saturday afternoon.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb said on Saturday night that her officers believed the attacker may be a 40-year-old man known to police. Panic spread; people locked themselves in store rooms, hid in change rooms – some for hours – or fled to exits. Shop windows clapped down, emergency warnings blared across the centre and people were screaming.
Shoppers rushed to help a screaming mother, who was attacked alongside her baby. They tried to stem the bleeding. “Just holding the baby, trying to compress the baby, and the same with a mother,” one told Nine News. “There’s a lot of blood on the floor. Hope the baby’s all right.” “A lady is lying on the ground and a guy is saying, ‘stay with me, stay with me’ and she is white,” Young said.
