A knife attack took place in the heart of a shopping center in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday April 13. At least six people have been killed, and eight others are hospitalized, including a nine-month-old baby.
At 3:20 p.m., this Saturday, April 13 in a shopping center in Sydney (Australia), a man with a knife attacked everyone who crossed his path. At least six people were stabbed to death, and several others were seriously injured. “It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced“, testified a woman, in tears.
The attacker was shot
Outside, the area, usually very busy, was completely cordoned off. The attacker was neutralized thanks to a female police officer, who was nearby. “She opened fire, the attacker died“, assured Anthony Cooke, the deputy commissioner of the New South Wales police. According to the first elements of the investigation, the man would have acted alone. For the moment, the terrorist trail has not been ruled out by police services.
