At a church in Sydney, amidst a congregation, a shocking scene unfolded as a man approached the priest, armed with a knife, and launched a frenzied attack. The horrified attendees witnessed the assault as captured in a video, prompting gasps of disbelief.
This disturbing incident marks the second stabbing episode in Sydney within three days. Authorities swiftly apprehended the assailant, confirming his arrest.
The footage depicts the swift response of bystanders rushing to aid the injured priest and subduing the attacker wielding the knife. Emergency services report that four individuals are receiving treatment for injuries deemed non-life threatening.
The Christ the Good Shepherd Church, where the altercation occurred, regularly hosts prayer sessions on Monday evenings.
Authorities received distress calls from the scene around 7:10 pm, urging the public to steer clear of the area.
This incident follows closely after another tragedy on Saturday, where police dismissed terrorism or ideological motives in a stabbing rampage that claimed six lives in one of Sydney’s bustling shopping precincts.
