A knife-wielding attacker stabbed five people in a New Zealand supermarket on Monday, critically injuring three, but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it appeared the rampage was not terror related. Police said the attack — highly unusual in the normally peaceful South Pacific nation — occurred at a Countdown supermarket in central Dunedin at 2:30 p.m. (0230GMT) and a man had been taken into custody. Witnesses told local media a man carrying two knives stabbed staff in the supermarket and bystanders who tried to stop him were also injured.
