Sydney Bishop and Others Stabbed During Livestreamed Sermon
In a shocking incident that unfolded during a sermon being live-streamed online, a bishop and several other individuals were stabbed in Sydney, causing panic and chaos.
The terrifying event took place on Monday night in the suburb of Wakeley, leaving the community in shock and disbelief.
Law enforcement swiftly responded to distress calls reporting multiple stabbings, reassuring the public that none of the injuries sustained were life-threatening.
An unidentified man has been apprehended by the authorities and is currently assisting with the investigation, although the motive behind the violent attack remains a mystery.
Details regarding the weapon used in the assault remain unclear, adding to the sense of unease surrounding the incident that transpired at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church.
The bishop, identified as Mar Mari Emmanuel by local media, was targeted by a man clad in dark attire during the live sermon, sending shockwaves through the congregation.
Witnesses recount a harrowing scene as the assailant approached the bishop and unleashed a vicious attack, prompting swift intervention from onlookers and screams of terror filling the air.
“The injured individuals sustained non-life threatening wounds and are currently receiving medical attention from NSW Ambulance paramedics,” stated the police in a formal declaration.
The victims, all males aged between 20 and 70, are now in stable condition as the community grapples with the aftermath of the senseless violence.
Authorities have urged the public to steer clear of the area as the investigation unfolds, heightening tensions in the wake of recent tragic events.
Just days prior, a separate incident at a shopping mall in Sydney resulted in the loss of six lives, further rattling the city’s residents. The perpetrator was fatally shot by law enforcement in that case.
While the two incidents are unrelated, the consecutive acts of violence have cast a somber shadow over Sydney, leaving many questioning the safety and security of their community. — BBC
