'I thought I was going to die': witnesses recount Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing

Witnesses have recalled the moment people tried to escape a lone attacker who moved through a shopping centre in Sydney's Bondi Junction, killing five people and seriously injuring others. 'I was hiding in the back room and I was just hearing gunshots. It was just like the worst thing ever,' a visibly upset woman told reporters. Westfield shopping centre in Bondi was crowded with shoppers as the incident took place.

Stabbing defenceless people, mostly women, at random including a 9-month-old baby is just vile cowardice.

[steph]

I can't believe this coward arm himself with a big knife but they go and stab women and a 9 month old baby😮 it's disguising beyond belief that he can stab a little child in her mother's arm!!! The mother can't even defend herself or her baby as she had to be holding her child at the time! This coward 🤮

Take time out you are in deep shock. Please take time to recover, what a harrowing experience. So very sorry.

Another terrorist attack that apparently isn’t a terrorist attack 😡

테러는 절대 안된다!! 명복을 빕니다..

[jamiecapes]

I have yet to find a video about this that explores the question of why he did this?, and furthermore, why that part of Sydney? The media attributes it all to a psychotic break, but is that really all there is to it?

I hope the expert don't blame this on drugs mental breakdown

[thefreese]

Noticed that all the News in Australia . ( a free democracy? ) have all the commentsturned off ...I wonder why that is ?

[footycardman]

I wonder what triggered the guy. And if i were there, i would go to a shop or restaurant or get something to protect. Truly tragic, what happened.

I experienced armed robbers coming into bank in South Africa in 89. It is traumatizing. Thy had ak47 machine guns. So yes..irs very traumatic. U DO feel luke ur going to die. These people had no idea how many attackers there were. Tht just heard screaming, saw blood, a guy running with a blade and gun shots. Thy d o day know what gun shot was from police Very scary

[petertraveller]

If you look all Australian news channel youtube videos about this, they don't allow comments at all. Dis gus ting.

[boiledliddo]

rest in peace and respect for the brave pakistani guard who tried to intervene.

[stephenmaxam]

sure looks like terrorism but i guess because he he cant be a terrorist. apparently.

[Melissababy]

Comments are off on almost every other channels. SMH

[tubefan]

This is the face of a person whose government has prevented her from defending herself. I'm so glad i don't ever have to feel like that.

The „p“ in the name of their religion stands for “peace”.

[lekkerJa]
