No life-threatening injuries were reported in the attack that came a few days after an assailant stabbed six people to death in a busy Sydney shopping mall.
SYDNEY (AP) — Police say a man has been arrested after reportedly stabbing a bishop and churchgoers in Sydney. There are no life-threatening injuries reported.
It occurred during a televised service on Monday evening, police said.
A video on social media shows a man dressed in black approaching a cleric 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.
