Mass Terror Attack in Popular Australia Mall, 7 Dead, Mother, Baby Stabbed, “Attacker Known to Police”

Here we go. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke Cooke shared there was no indication of motivation for the act but was not ruling out if it was terrorist-related. You know what that means.

Mothers and babies are stabbed to death at the mall and the most important piece of official business to shield the motive.

“The mom got stabbed, and the mom came over with the baby and threw it at me, and I was holding the baby,” one of the men told the outlet.

The mother died.

The suspect “moved through the center” in a crowd of about “nine people” inside the mall and launched his attack, causing “harm to those people we believe by stabbing them,” Cooke said.

The two men said they began “compressing the baby” and the mother to stop the bleeding.

“There’s a lot of blood on the floor…

A heroic police officer fatally shot a knife-wielding maniac who killed five people and stabbed several others — including a small child — inside a popular Sydney mall Saturday afternoon.

Authorities received calls around 3:30 p.m. local time that a knife-wielding man was attacking people at Westfield Bondi Junction, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said during a press conference.

Footage obtained by 9News Sydney showed the suspect, wearing a gold and green rugby jersey and shorts, brandishing a long knife and approaching several horrified shoppers.

Hundreds of people were captured running for the mall’s exits during the stabbing spree.

At around 3:10 p.m., the suspect “moved through the center” in a crowd of about “nine people” inside the mall and launched his attack, causing “harm to those people we believe by stabbing them,” Cooke said.

A nearby officer was alerted of the attack by fleeing shoppers and confronted the suspect when he was on “level five” of the mall.

“He turned, faced her, raised a knife, and the officer opened fire, killing the suspect,” Cooke recalled.

Australia’s Prime Minster Anthony Albanese praised the bravery of the lone female police officer for entering the mall “by herself” and killing the suspect before he could cause any more harm to innocent civilians.

“She is certainly a hero. There is no doubt that she saved lives,” Albanese said.

A 38-year-old mother, whose 9-month-old baby was stabbed in the attack, died hours later at the hospital, according to the outlet.

The baby’s condition is still unknown.

Two witnesses told 9News Sydney how they helped save the defenseless baby after the suspect also stabbed the child’s mother.

Families walk past an ambulance outside the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping mall following the fatal stabbings on April 13, 2024.
