Police in Australia say a man has been arrested after a bishop and three churchgoers were stabbed in Sydney. There are no life-threatening injuries. It occurred during a televised service at the church on Monday evening, April 15, police said.
A video on social media shows a man dressed in black approaching a cleric at the altar identified as the bishop at Christ the Good Shepherd in suburban Wakely and appearing to stab him repeatedly in the head and upper body. Members of the congregation are seen screaming and rushing to the bishop’s aid. The church website identified the bishop as Mar Mari Emmanuel. The Orthodox Assyrian church streams services online.
NSW Ambulance service said it had treated a man in his 50s for multiple cuts and took him to a hospital, and three others were treated for one or more cuts at the scene.
“A large police response is underway and the public is urged to avoid the area,” police said.
Australians are still in shock after a lone attacker stabbed six people to death in a busy Sydney shopping mall on Saturday and injured more than a dozen others.
