Sydney stabbing: Knife attacker kills at least 6 and wounds baby

Five people were killed after a knife-wielding man went on a stabbing spree at a shopping centre in Sydney.

The lone suspect was shot dead by police after attacking nine people, including a small child, Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. Police are investigating a possible terrorist incident.

The nine-month-old baby has been taken to hospital with “a pediatric stab wound”, a spokesperson for New South Wales Ambulance told NBC News.

I was in Spain when the truck incident in Nice happened. The barman said, "the press will be praying it's a European white guy driving that truck." It wasn't. It was Mohamed Bouhlel.

How ridiculous, irresponsible and impractical to import a future civil war.

The footage seems to show attacker ignored certain types of people and concentrated on others.

Took a russian man to stop him before the police got there

As it turned out, the man who fought him off on the escalator was Russian.

Radical peace ful community spreading peace

what’s sad is, non muslims (especially white people) praying it’s a muslim person who committed this crime, and muslims praying it’s not a muslim so their name is no more
tarnished.

sad world. instead of the victims being mourned, people are more focused on the attackers background.

[johnsnopkowski]

My condolences goes to the family and friends of those who tragically lost their lives in this terrible tragedy Rest in peace

If he was a muslim they would have labelled him a terrorist but he isn't so they just call him a attacker. What hypocrites

[HenryLeaf]

So sad the brave security guard, a muslim from pakistan who died trying to protect the public on his first day in his new job.

[shipmcgree]

When the criminal is barely described, we all know what that means...

[limitedmark]

I was hoping Australia wouldn't make the same mistakes we have in Europe. When will we all wake up.
