Several people stabbed during a mass in Sydney, 48 hours after another knife incident

A priest and several people were stabbed with a knife this Monday during a mass at the Assyrian Church of the Good Shepherd in the Wakeley district of Sydney. No one is seriously injured and the alleged perpetrator has been arrested. The religious ceremony was broadcast live on social networks.

In a statement, the New South Wales Police, whose capital is Sydney, has assured that the detainee is collaborating with the investigation, without specifying further details.

The attack, at the Assyrian Church of the Good Shepherd in the Wakeley district, was carried out while the religious ceremony was broadcast live on social networks.

The video shows how a man dressed in black approaches the altar and stabs the priest repeatedly, while parishioners come to help him.

This stabbing occurs about 48 hours after another stabbing incident in a shopping center in the Australian city, which left seven dead, including the attacker.

The Police have ruled out that Saturday’s attack was terrorist and are investigating this Monday if it was due to a femicide.
